and last updated

The heatwave is finally over!

A cold front moved in last night and behind it a northerly flow will bring cooler, dry weather. Unfortunately, smoke is also drifting in from out of state wildfires, resulting in poor air quality.

Tropical Storm Kay is along the southern California coast, but moisture from it will drift into SW Utah later today and tonight. Showers and thunderstorms will become likely in the south tomorrow and then become more widespread across the rest of the area early next week.
