SALT LAKE CITY — For the first time in 2023, Salt Lake City has officially reached 100 degrees.
The National Weather Service's measuring site at the SLC International Airport clocked 100° Fahrenheit shortly before 2:45 p.m.
We just reached 100 degrees for the first time this year, but a cooldown tomorrow will likely keep us below 100 for the remainder of the week. #utwx https://t.co/1UlqrpNwmP
