High based showers & dry t-storms could bring gusty winds across parts of Northern & Central UT. Storms are most likely over the mountains and then could drift out east over the valleys. A few pockets of rain are possible, but otherwise they will mainly be dry storms with a chance of gusty outflow winds. Warming up & drying out the rest of the week with near record heat possible by the weekend! SALT LAKE CITY Tuesday: Mostly sunny. Highs: Mid 90s. Tuesday Night: Mostly clear. Lows: Upper 60s. ST.

The heat is on! Temperatures hit the triple digits for the first time this year in Salt Lake City on Sunday. The average first day at or above 100 degrees Fahrenheit is July 6, so we were only one day off. It won't be quite as hot as Sunday, but temperatures will climb well above average on Monday. A weak storm is brushing by to the northwest, and moisture associated with that system will bring a slight chance of dry thunderstorms, mainly over the mountains of northern and central Utah.
