Temperatures will rise this weekend as high pressure builds across the western US, likely resulting in the hottest temperatures of the season so far. #utwx #wywx
National Weather Service Salt Lake City infographic titled "STRONG HEAT WAVE THIS WEEKEND" featuring a weather outlook map and safety tips. The map of the Western US is shaded in deep reds and oranges, indicating a 70–90%+ probability of above-normal temperatures from July 12–16. Text warns that building high pressure will cause increasing temperatures with little overnight relief through Sunday, with most lower elevation valleys exceeding 100°F on Saturday and Sunday. A "WHAT TO DO" section advises staying hydrated, wearing loose, light-colored clothing, taking frequent breaks in shade or air conditioning, and shifting outdoor activities away from 10 AM to 4 PM. The NOAA and NWS Salt Lake City logos are in the bottom left corner.

Be aware: this weekend is going to be extremely hot! Highs up to 15°F above normal will break daily and, in some cases, monthly and all-time records. This will bring an increased risk of heat-related illness so be prepared if you plan to be outside. #utwx #wywx

Key Forecast Details: Extremely hot temperatures will affect Utah and southwest Wyoming on Saturday and Sunday.

🎆 Before you light fireworks, check the map! A statewide fireworks ban is in effect July 2–5. Some cities have approved areas where fireworks are still allowed. Don't guess—check before you light. One spark can start a wildfire. #FireSense buff.ly/TK8nhuC

🔥 Utah remains in critical fire danger. Persistent drought and dry fuels have created above-normal wildfire potential. Recent fires show how quickly they can spread. Hot, dry conditions continue into July. Use your #FireSense & follow fire restrictions.

❄️ Almost July… and it’s SNOWING in Utah! Take a look at this! Snow is falling this Sunday morning at Alta as a cold storm moves across northern Utah. The highest peaks of the Wasatch are picking up fresh snow, even though we’re just days away from July. 😍

A powerful cold front will sweep through Utah this weekend, and we're already seeing the first signs of its arrival. Strong winds are picking up across the state, while much colder air is pouring into Idaho and Nevada. In fact, Elko is running 31°F colder than this time yesterday. Buckle up—Utah's big cooldown is on the way. #utwx
