What a difference a week makes!
After a cool start on Sunday & Monday, it's going to be hot heading into the holiday weekend. There's still a chance of high-based showers & t-storms in the north that might bring some gusty winds this afternoon & early evening. They just won't be as likely or widespread as yesterday.
Fire danger is still high, but luckily winds will be much lighter than earlier this week.
It's going to be sunny & gradually warm up through the weekend. So, it might not be hot as a firecracker on the 4th of July, but it'll feel like it! It'll climb into the low 90s along the Wasatch Front on Independence Day and above 100 in Lower Washington County & the Lake Powell area.
Hot weather will stick around through much of next week.
