It's going to be a hot and stormy day!
A weather system brushing by Northern Utah today could bring strong to severe t-storms in the afternoon. On a scale of 1 to 5, the risk is at a 1. Even so, if you have outdoor plans over the northern third of the state this afternoon & evening, make sure you have shelter nearby.
The biggest threat of the storms will be strong microburst wind gusts. Frequent lightning and small hail are also possible. The main impact will be near the Idaho border, but storms could pop across other parts of Northern & Eastern Utah.
Hot, dry, & windy conditions across the south become more widespread tomorrow. Fire danger will increase this week.
