Wednesday: 99.
Thursday: 100.
Had enough?
I have some good news. The forecast high for today is only 95F. Hooray!
But it get's better. We will see a gradual cooling trend through early next week. First, the ridge that has tortured us this week moves downstream and a broad upper-level trough gradually moves overthe western US. By 0000 UTC 16 June (6 PM MDT Saturday), northern Utah is in southwesterly flow aloft and in the leading edge of cooler air.
That cooler air gradually bleeds in until Monday when an even stronger trough and surge of bonafide cold air push into the state.
The NWS forecast nicely shows the high temperatures for the airport dropping each day from yesterday's 100 to today's 95, Saturday's 89, Sunday's 83, Monday's 79, and Tuesdays 70.
The trend is our friend. If you extrapolate that forward, winter will be here later this month!
Sadly that's not the case, but I am looking forward to the cooler air. Tuesday might also prove to be the coldest day we see around here for a long time.
