The weather service is forecasting a high of 95. And a cold front — well, a not-so-hot front — is expected to drop temperatures into the mid-80s on Friday.
The forecast calls for temperatures in the upper 80s Saturday through Monday. And there’s a chance of showers and thunderstorms on Monday night and Tuesday, when a high of 82 is expected.Looking even further ahead, above-normal precipitation is expected across Utah, according to the National Weather Service’s 6-10 day forecast .

The former September heat record in Salt Lake City was 104, set on Monday. Tuesday marked the 33rd day of triple-digit temperatures recorded this year, obliterating the old record of 21 triple-digit days set in 1960 and matched again in 1994 and 2021.It’s even hotter in southern Utah. There’s not just a heat warning but an excessive heat warning in the southwestern corner of the state — including St. George and Zion National Park — until 8 p.m. on Wednesday, with “dangerously hot conditions” and temperatures of up to 110 expected.
Southern Utah won’t see much relief until the weekend. The forecast in St. George calls for a high of 105 on Thursday and 100 on Friday, before temperatures fall to the low- to mid-90s Saturday-Tuesday, which is about normal for this time of year.
