Warm & windy today!
Widespread southwest winds could gust up to 25 to 40 mph across much of the area today and even higher in some spots! That will help temps climb about 10 to 20 degrees above average. Records are possible, but not as likely as the last couple days.
The gusty winds will create areas of blowing dust. The combination of hot, dry, windy weather will lead to increasing fire danger with a Red Flag Warning in effect across SW Utah.
The winds are ahead of a cold front that will slide across Northern Utah this evening and then south across the state later tonight. Strong NW winds are expected for a few hours behind the front in NW Utah this evening.
Temps will be much cooler tomorrow, but still close to average for this time of year.
