>> WE'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THE SMOKE MOVING INTO NORTHERN UTAH. EARLIER I TOOK THIS PHOTO FROM WEST VALLEY CITY AREA. YOU CAN SEE THE SMOKE LAYER WAS MOVING IN KIND OF LOW LEVEL. BUT AS WE GO TO THE NORTH, THAT HAS TOTALLY ENVELOP TO THE WASATCH FRONT, THE WASATCH MOUNTAINS IN SALT LAKE CITY. SO WITH THAT IN MIND, HERE'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FROM THE TOP. THE OQUIRRH MOUNTAINS RIGHT NOW. DEFINITELY SMOKY OUT THERE FROM THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM. VERY SMOKY. AND NOW WE'VE LOOKED AT THE FAIRVIEW BIKE, POWERED BY. TELL US. AND IT IS SHOWING RED OR QUALITY AND DAVIS AND SALT LAKE COUNTIES RIGHT NOW, THE PM THE OTHER VOLATILE CHEMICALS, THE CHEMICALS FROM VEHICLES, ALL OF THAT GROUP COME IN COMBINING TO GIVE US A VERY, VERY POOR AIR QUALITY THAT IS FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS, WHICH IS FOR WEAVER CASH, AN BOX ELDER COUNTIES AS WELL COMING INTO UTAH COUNTY RIGHT NOW. SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF AND KEEP HIGHS ON. AND MAYBE IF YOU'RE SENSITIVE RISE IN CACHE VALLEY, DEFINITELY IN THE ORANGE CATEGORY. SAME THING FOR BOX ELDER COUNTY WEBER COUNTY LOOKING DAVIS COUNTY IN THE RED RIGHT HERE IN SALT LAKE COUNTY. LOTS OF POCKETS OF RED. SO FAR, NOT TOO BAD IN THE HEBER VALLEY OR IN UTAH COUNTY, BUT THAT SMOKE IS COMING SOUTH AND IT WILL DEFINITELY BE A PROBLEM HE FOLKS LATER ON. YOU'LL SEE THIS WHEN WE PUT THE MAPS INTO MOTION BECAUSE OF THE SMOKE MAPS THAT SHOW WHERE HEAVY SMOKE IS THAT RED BEING THE HEAVIEST OF SMOKE. BUT THE GOOD NEWS LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF AN EASTERLY FLOW WILL START TO PUSH THAT SMOKE OUT. IT DOES REACH SOUTHERN UTAH ON THURSDAY. SO BE PREPARED FOR SOME SMOKY SKIES AND SOUTHERN UTAH. BUT IT DOES IMPROVE A LITTLE BIT BY FRIDAY, NOT PERFECTLY, BUT IT DOESN'T PROVE QUITE A BIT. WE DO HAVE SOME THUNDERSTORMS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG THE UINTA MOUNTAINS. SOME OF THEM ARE PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND ALSO STRONG THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE COLORADO AREA AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS NOW FOR ME ON THE BALL HOME MOUNTAIN. SO WE'LL WATCH AND SEE IF ANYTHING DOES DEVELOP. OKAY. THERE'S ONE LITTLE DEVELOPMENT RIGHT THERE. THIS IS BOULDER MOUNTAIN. SO WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT FOR YOU. BUT MEAN, THE MEANTIME, STRONGEST THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE EAST OF UTAH TODAY. TEMPERATURE WISE, WE'RE PRETTY GOOD TEMPERATURES. 72 IN ROOSEVELT, 79 IN PRICE GOT 72 IN PROVO. 76 IN OGDEN, VERY NICE. AND PRESTON WITH 69, UNFORTUNATELY, THE SMOKE COMING DOWN MAKING THAT NICE COOL. PATTERN THAT WE ALWAYS LOVE TO SEE THIS TIME OF THE YEAR REALLY MAKING IT UNCOMFORTABLE. NOW IN THE 80'S AND 90'S ACROSS SOUTHERN UTAH 90 AND COULD HAVE RIGHT NOW. 89 AND SAINT GEORGE WITH A LIGHT WIND. VERY NICE CLEAR SKIES THERE, BUT NOT SO MUCH HERE. 74 DEGREES AT THE NOON HOUR. WIND IS LIGHT NORTHWEST AT 3. THE FORECAST TAKES THIS UPPER LOW MOVES ALONG AND EASTWARD TODAY. SO THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE HEAVIEST RIGHT THERE. JUST KIND OF CLIPPING DAGGETT COUNTY AND UINTAH COUNTY AND DEFINITELY OVER ROCK SPRINGS AND EASTWARD TODAY. AND THEN TOMORROW WE'LL MOVE INTO COLORADO AND NEW MEXICO AND MOVE AWAY FROM U.S. MEANTIME, A BIG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN THAT SHOULD PUSH THE SMOKE BACK NORTH STARTING ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THERE'S A DISTURBANCE COMING IN PULL UP A FEW THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE TROPICS INTO SOUTHWEST UTAH ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. SO WE'LL SEE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS THERE. IT STAYS AWAY FROM SALT LAKE CITY ON MONDAY, BUT STILL CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MOUNTAINS TUESDAY. THERE'S A STORM SYSTEM MOVING BY THE TO BRING A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS TUESDAY, TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY THURSDAY OF NEXT WEEK. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS HUGE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE DEEP LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE COAST WILL MAKE FOR SOME BLUSTERY SOUTHERLY WINDS NEXT WEEK IN HOT TEMPERATURES. SO NOT AS HOT TODAY, BUT DEFINITELY SMOKY IN THE NORTH. TURNING SMOKEY ACROSS THE SOUTH TOMORROW. WE'LL SEE SMOKE JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE, BUT MAYBE NOT IN THE SOUTHEAST. PART OF THE STATE. 102 ON FRIDAY AND THEN A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS. SUNDAY IS A LITTLE THAT TROPICAL MOISTURE COMES NORTH SALT LAKE CITY, OGDEN AND PROVO. 82 A SMOKE TODAY, SMOKY TOMORROW, MAYBE A LITTLE LESS SMOKE ON FRIDAY SATURDAY, SUNNY, BUT PARTLY CLOUDY SKY SUNDAY, MONDAY WITH SPOTTY THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NE
