SALT LAKE CITY — If you like it hot, you'll love this weekend!

High pressure will keep it dry and help temperatures climb about 10 to 15 degrees above average over the next few days. Record heat is possible Saturday, especially in the south. Make sure you drink plenty of water and avoid any strenuous activity during the heat of the day.

Winds will increase across Southern & Eastern Utah Sunday, leading to higher fire danger. The winds will be ahead of a strong cold front that will move across the state Monday. It'll get a lot cooler by then with a chance of showers across the north.
