Utah will have below normal, cooler temperatures late this week, but first the Wasatch Front and beyond will endure several days of decidedly hotter weather than average.
The Salt Lake and Tooele valleys looked for highs around 90 through Wednesday, about 10 degrees above the norm for this time of year. Thursday, in the low 80, will be just about par for daytime temperatures, but Friday will see the mercury slip into the upper-60s — 5-7 degrees below normal.
After sunny and dry conditions Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday will be ushered in by morning rain and afternoon thundershowers, a wet shift that continues through the week’s end.
