Record-breaking heat expected to die down Tuesday
The National Weather Service is warning Utahns to stay hydrated and keep cool as dangerous heat conditions continue this week. The NWS says high temperatures across the state will average 5-10 degrees above normal for mid-July. Eastern Utah, much of which is under an excessive heat warning, will see the hottest temperatures of the year.
The NWS says they expect closer-to-normal temperatures on Tuesday as a cold front moves in.
