Outlook
The historic heat wave is here! Temperatures will remain well above normal from today through Saturday with many records being broken. A strong high pressure system is moving over the Great Basin now, and will stay put through Saturday. Highs along the Wasatch Front will be in the mid to upper 70s Wednesday, and if SLC hits 79 degrees, that would tie the daily record high! Highs will be in the low 80s Thursday through Friday in Salt Lake City. Whenever we hit the 80 degree mark first - that'll mark the earliest 80 degree on record here in SLC. If we hit a high above 80 degrees, that will mark the warmest March temperature ever here! Many areas across the state will have record breaking temperatures from this historic heat wave. Over the weekend, the high pressure system will flatten or shift south a bit, and this will open the door for a cold front to move into northern Utah by Sunday morning. Temperatures will drop about 10-15 degrees behind this cold front, but highs will still be well above normal for this time of year in the low 70s. - Devan Masciulli, KSL Weather 3.17.26
