Slightly cooler temperatures and slightly higher humidity today behind a cold front that has settled across southern Utah. After today, the front washes out and pushes back northward bringing an isolated, mostly dry shower chance on Friday (CWR is near 0). After today, warming and drying trend continues into next week and through the following weekend. Saturday may be a day to keep an eye on for the combination of warm temperatures, low humidity (mid teens percent), and elevated southwesterly winds with gusts to 25 mph as a weak storm system moves through northern Utah. By mid to late next week, confidence is high in the first heat wave of the summer season developing as high pressure amplifies over the Great Basin. This will likely push temperatures at the burn site into the mid/upper 70s with RH values in the teens. Currently no indication of any wetting rain for the fire site through the next 8-10 days. .REST OF TODAY... Sky/weather.........Mostly sunny (10-20 percent cloud cover).
