Fourth of July Climatology for Eastern Utah and Western Colorado

*Please note that all data mentioned is collected from our automated observing stations from 10 different airports across eastern Utah and western Colorado.*

The Fourth of July climatology for selected cities across eastern Utah and western Colorado shows that the Fourth can either be exceedingly hot (in the triple digits) or cooler and wetter with over an inch of rain falling in some areas! We shouldn't be breaking any precipitation or temperature records this year as southwest flow aloft keeps conditions dry, breezy and seasonably warm. As always, please stay up to date with the latest forecast by visiting our point and click weather forecast at www.weather.gov/gjt!
