Happy Independence Day! After a cool start, it's going to be sunny and warm today with temps still running a little below average.
Gusty winds are possible across in the Western Uinta Basin and San Rafael swell this afternoon & evening. Be extra careful with any fireworks!
Great news if you have outdoor plans: It's going to stay sunny through the holiday weekend and keep warming up. The problem is that an intense heat wave is expected by next week with dangerous and near record heat likely.
