END TIMES WEATHER:Utah Setting All-Time Records In Nasty Heat Wave

SALT LAKE CITY A day after breaking a state record for heat, southern Utah roasted again Thursday as temperatures easily topped 100 degrees and forecasters predicted no immediate relief. At 1:30 p.m. MDT, the thermometer showed 111, said Dean Cox, Washington County’s emergency services coordinator. “It’s a scorcher,” he said. “Officially I’d hate to admit that, because we like to promote our nice weather here in St. George. But it’s a dry heat.” As forecast, St. George hit a high of 115 degrees Thursday, National Weather Service meteorologist Brandon Smith said. Also Thursday, Brian Head ski resort near Cedar City hit a record 85 degrees, breaking its old record high of 77, set July 5, 2003. A handful of cities hit 100 or above, including Provo and Wendover at 100, Cedar City and Salt Lake City at 101, Delta at 103 and Kanab at 107 degrees, he said. On Wednesday, a 118-degree reading was recorded by an automated weather station in a remote area south of St. George, near the Utah-Arizona border.The record won’t be official until the equipment can be calibrated and checked, which could take several days. “But tentatively, the 118 will go down as the new all-time maximum temperature for Utah,” said Larry Dunn, meteorologist in charge of the weather service’s Salt Lake City office. The previous record was 117 on July 25, 1985 in St. George. The record-setting site recorded a temperature of 117 degrees Thursday, Smith said. The weather service monitors temperatures hourly, with the highs peaking about 4:30 p.m, Dunn said. Summer temperatures across Utah are running 10 to 15 degrees above normal, meteorologist Brandon Smith said. “To be honest, as far as temperatures, for as far out as we can see there’s no relief,” he said. Since the heat wave began July 1, daily records have been set, even at higher elevations that usually stay cool. At Bryce Canyon National Park, elevation 7,590 feet, the temperature soared to 92 degrees Wednesday, breaking the old mark for that date by four degrees. Logan in northern Utah was expected to hit 98 Thursday; Park City, 91 degrees. Officials in St. George and Washington County advised residents and tourists to limit outdoor activities to cooler morning hours and drink plenty of water.
