SALT LAKE CITY — The Wasatch Front will see another day of above 100 degrees again on Monday, but there is some relief in sight.
It got to 104°F at SLC today. This breaks the old daily record of 103° for the site, set in 2012. #utwx

The day after Salt Lake City set a new daily record of above 100 degrees at the airport, it will be 102 degrees today. Not only will it be hot, but the skies will also be smoky.
The @NWSSaltLakeCity says smoky skies could be with much of the state for a couple of days. It may remain in northern Utah depending on what happens with the fire upstream. Reminder most of haze filled skies are coming from fires in Oregon and California. pic.twitter.com/Awtxtxt9Yy

The National Weather Service has issued an Excessive Heat Warning for parts of the state through 9 p.m. tonight, but we do get some relief this week.
“We have some thunderstorms, won’t be quite as hot tomorrow or the next three days,” says KSL Meteorologist Grant Wayman. “Then it inches back up to near 100 again for the weekend.”
The forecast shows a slight chance of thunderstorms and rain for Tuesday and Wednesday. It will be 99 degrees on Friday and Saturday. We will be back to 100 by Sunday.
Expect more wildfire smoke and more extreme heat for the next 2 days. High pressure is directing smoke in from the north and northwest. Get ready for a spike in temperatures across northern Utah with highs in the triple digits. #utwx pic.twitter.com/8HEKWTYbzR
