Outlook
Record heat will be possible again on Tuesday for Salt Lake City with a forecast high of 93 degrees. The current daily record high for May 12th is 92 degrees, set back in 1960. Wednesday will remain hot with highs near 90, but we will begin to see some changes take place. A storm system will move through the Pacific NW and northern Rockies on Wednesday and Thursday. This will increase southerly winds across Utah on Wednesday and will drive in some moisture with it. This will give way to isolated to widely scattered mountain showers on Wednesday that will more likely produce gusty winds rather than heavy rain. These showers will dissipate after sunset, then a cold front will sweep through Utah. This will drop temperatures almost 20 degrees across northern Utah from 90 on Wednesday to 73 degrees on Thursday! Devan Masciulli - KSL Weather 5.11.26
