Warm, sunny, weather with pop-up mountain showers possible

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Happy Tuesday, Utah! We're going to be looking and feeling much more like summer around the Beehive state as we move throughout the upcoming week.
Look for mostly sunny skies and hot temperatures. Highs will warm into the low to mid-90s through midweek along the Wasatch Front. Highs will be around 100° for SW Utah.
Daytime heating and a little residual moisture will lead to a few isolated pop-up showers and storms, primarily over the higher terrain of central and southern Utah, Tuesday afternoon. The overall rain chance for the rest of the area will remain very low.
A disturbance will graze northern Utah on Wednesday, which could help to spark a few more isolated storms over northern portions of the state. This system may have enough dynamics to produce an isolated strong storm or two on Wednesday afternoon. The Storm Prediction Center has outlined the northern third of Utah under a Marginal 'level 1' risk for strong winds with any of these storms that may develop on Wednesday.
Once the midweek system clears, look for a stronger ridge of high pressure to settle overhead, leading to drier and hotter conditions just in time for our Father's Day weekend. High temps will be in the mid to upper 90s for the Wasatch Front. High temps across southern Utah will warm between 100°-105°.
The warm temperatures, low humidity levels, dry vegetation, and gusty southwest winds will lead to a critical fire danger developing across portions of central and southern Utah. Any outdoor burning will be highly discouraged.

Playbook: Mission accomplished?

Presented by With help from Eli Okun, Bethany Irvine and Ali Bianco On the Playbook Podcast this morning, Jack and POLITICO White House reporter Megan Messerly discuss all the fallout from Saturday's attack on Iran — and the great political unknowns as we head into the week. Good Monday morning. This is Jack Blanchard, braced for some scorching D.C. summer heat this week. The National Weather Service has issued an extreme heat warning for today between 11 a.m. and 9 p.m., and is advising residents to limit their time outdoors. The Capital Weather Gang reckons temps will likely hit three figures and may feel as hot as 110 degrees once the 'oppressive humidity' is factored in. It'll be like this through Wednesday, at least. Suffice to say your Playbook author has canceled his kid's birthday trip to the zoo and will be cowering indoors instead. In today's Playbook … — The three big questions troubling the White House on Iran. — Crunch time in the Senate for Trump's big, beautiful bill. — Trump world power couple spotted on a seaside break. DRIVING THE DAY QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS: President Donald Trump will gather his national security team in the Oval Office at 1 p.m. as huge questions loom about the weekend bombing raids on Iran. Just how successful was Saturday night's attack on Iran's nuclear facilities? How — if at all — will Iran respond? And what's the real end-game here? The answers could shape U.S. politics for a long time to come. Let's get into it. First, the success of the attacks: To be clear — those raids were a remarkable feat. Seven vast, space-age style aircraft, each 170 feet wide, flew 7,000 miles nonstop from their airbase near Kansas City to targets in central Iran, undetected by enemy radar. They refueled mid-air, multiple times. They each dropped their 15-ton bombs with extraordinary precision. And then they flew straight home again, only touching back down in Missouri on Sunday afternoon. (Watch the vid here of their return.) OK wait, I have questions: Yes, B-2 bombers have toilets on board. Yes, their crews take turns to cook microwave meals, and eat, and nap. (This Defense News interview with B-2 bomber pilots from 2019 answers a lot of questions about what it's actually like on board ... and The Atlantic did a great profile of a long-range B-2 bombing raid back in 2018.) But the only question that matters … is how much damage America's much-feted 'bunker-buster' bombs actually did to Iran's fortified nuclear site at Fordo this past weekend. These weapons previously were untested in combat, and the sheer depth at which Iran buried its facility — beneath an awful lot of concrete, as well as the side of the mountain — means it's very hard to know how effective they were. Certainly, the pictures from the sky are inconclusive. And Iran is hardly likely to allow inspectors back in any time soon. Official view from the White House: 'Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran, as shown by satellite images. Obliteration is an accurate term!' Trump insisted on Truth Social last night. That may or may not prove to be the case. But there's more: Bombing Fordo — and the other big sites that got hammered on Saturday night — was only ever one piece in the jigsaw. As the NYT writes this morning, everyone is suddenly awfully keen to know the whereabouts of Iran's hefty stockpile of enriched uranium — not yet at weapons-grade, but headed in that direction. The NYT says the entire stockpile would fit into the trunks of about 10 cars, and it's thought highly likely Iran moved it to a safer place in the days running up the attack. And there are questions too about a possible third Iranian enrichment facility, confirmed by the regime but not yet revealed in public. Has that been targeted as well? Next — Iran's response: So far, Iran sounds extremely upset. At an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council last night, Amir Saeid Iravani, Iran's permanent representative to the U.N., said the attacks were a 'blatant crime' and that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu had 'succeeded in hijacking U.S. foreign policy, dragging the United States into yet another costly, baseless war.' Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is in Moscow today for crisis talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin — though Russia has shown little sign of wanting to get involved. But what about actions? Iran has talked tough for years about its response if its nuclear program were ever targeted. But it's proven far weaker militarily than expected — partly due to the massive degradation of its regional proxies like Hamad and Hezbollah over the past two years; and partly due to the devastating Israeli attacks on its capabilities these past 10 days. But there are still 40,000 U.S. troops based in the region, and some sort of Iranian attack in the coming days is certainly possible. And beyond the region … NBC reports Iran warned the U.S. last week that in the event of an attack, it would activate sleeper cells who would carry out terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. Hard-liners in Iran's parliament are calling for the Strait of Hormuz to be closed, which would damage shipping interest globally and likely cause a spike in oil prices too. Helpful analysis: Indeed, the WSJ runs through all of Iran's options — and frankly, none of them are good. The regime has been hammered by Israel and can hardly now afford an escalating conflict with the U.S. Equally, it will look ruinously weak if there is no response at all. And this is a regime that first and foremost must protect its own position. Some observers believe it will quietly go full tilt for a nuclear bomb — the only real guarantor of security in Iranian eyes. Which takes us to the third point: American war aims. Trump's three amigos from his Saturday night address — VP JD Vance, Secretary of State (and NSA) Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — were all carefully on-message on the Sunday shows, making clear this attack was not about regime change. The line held for all of about four hours … before the president started posting on social media. Shades of 2003: 'It's not politically correct to use the term, 'Regime Change,' but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn't there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!' Trump wrote on Truth Social yesterday, and there's nothing that makes MAGA world millennials queasier than statements like that. Just look at the ever-faithful Charlie Kirk trying desperately to thread the needle here. Will Trump lean in or walk it back? Talks continue: America's allies around the world still believe there's an urgent need for diplomacy, despite the president having shown precious little interest in multilateral talks thus far. A U.K. government official tells my London Playbook colleague Stefan Boscia that in reality, the U.S. 'won't stop [Iran] fully getting a nuke by bombing — that's why diplomacy now is important.' Good luck, as they say, with that. Speaking of diplomacy: With impeccable timing, Trump is due to fly to Europe tomorrow for the annual NATO leaders' summit, which is being held this year in the Netherlands. Some in Europe fear he won't actually show, given the Iran crisis and his early exit from the G7 last week. But this entire summit has been designed as an opportunity for Trump to celebrate getting Europe to pledge more money on defense spending, and it seems unlikely he'll pass up the opportunity to take a big international win. The Middle East will obviously now be a key part of the discussion. Less of an international win: With even more perfect timing, Pakistan, which on Friday nominated Trump for the thing he covets more than anything else — a Nobel peace prize — yesterday condemned him for aggressively bombing another country. The world sure moves fast. ON THE HILL RECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES: The Senate returns today to a make-or-break week for their reconciliation megabill, with Majority Leader John Thune hoping to begin procedural floor votes by mid-week. Our Inside Congress colleagues report that Thursday is most likely. First up today are the big 'Byrd bath' arguments for the Senate Finance Committee's centerpiece portion of the legislation, in which both parties will try to convince the parliamentarian to advise that certain provisions can or can't be included under the rules. Senate Republicans are also planning to gather this evening, per Punchbowl's Andrew Desiderio. All eyes on Elizabeth MacDonough: The next couple of days are pivotal for the parliamentarian's rulings on what passes muster for Republicans to avoid the filibuster. She already made a number of notable calls in both directions this weekend, most significantly saying no to a SNAP cuts plan that would have shifted more costs for food aid to state governments. WSJ's Siobhan Hughes has all the deets. First in Playbook: Majority Forward, which is affiliated with Democrats' Senate Majority PAC, is going up today with a $1 million ad campaign against Sens. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) on reconciliation. Airing on YouTube/digital and streaming TV, the spots accuse the senators of raising health care costs to fund tax cuts for billionaires. The North Carolina ad The impact: There's another reconciliation battle underway over the state and local tax deduction, separate from the one you've read about ad nauseam. Republicans plan to significantly limit a workaround that allows business owners to circumvent the SALT cap, WSJ's Richard Rubin reports. Meanwhile, the bill's new restrictions on SNAP — along with related Trump administration cuts — have New York-area food banks worried about their future, NYT's Sarah Maslin Nir reports. ELSEWHERE ON THE HILL: The House is starting to move on its fiscal year 2026 appropriations process, with the Legislative Branch bill revealed last night and heading for a subcommittee markup at 6 p.m. It calls for a $51 million funding reduction overall, per POLITICO's Katherine Tully-McManus. That notably includes major cuts for the Government Accountability Office and Library of Congress, nonpartisan institutions that have come under increasing attack by Republicans. Also happening today in the House: The full Appropriations Committee will mark up the Agriculture-FDA bill at 7:30 p.m., and at 4 p.m. the Rules Committee will take up the Military Construction-VA funding bill. Rules will also tee up a floor vote on a resolution condemning what it calls violent 'riots' in LA. And AG Pam Bondi will go before an Appropriations subcommittee at 2 p.m. NEWS FROM THE WILDERNESS NEW DIRECTIONS: Democratic politicians and voters will have fresh opportunities this week to set their party's course amid deep generational and ideological divides. First, four House members will pitch the Steering Committee today on why they should be House Oversight ranking member. That committee will recommend a pick for caucus ratification tomorrow. And it'll be a big decision among two senior Dems — Stephen Lynch (Mass.) and Kweisi Mfume (Md.) — and two younger, very online voices — Robert Garcia (Calif.) and Jasmine Crockett (Texas). Bite at the Big Apple: Also happening tomorrow is the closely watched NYC mayoral primary, where frontrunners Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani represent radically different options for the party on ideology, experience, age and attitude — not to mention scandal. A new campaign finance data analysis from POLITICO's Cris Seda Chabrier and Joe Anuta shows there are thousands of donors, especially in Brooklyn, who seem to have gotten on board with the anybody-but-Cuomo-and-Eric-Adams strategy, giving money to a number of left-leaning contenders. (NYT's Nicholas Fandos has a fun rundown of how Ilana Glazer, Graydon Carter, Fran Lebowitz and other boldface names are ranking their ballots.) And coming down the pike: Former VP Kamala Harris is now 'leaning toward' running for governor of California, The Hill's Amie Parnes reports. But she'll still take more time to decide, and one source rejects the idea that Harris is inclined to go for Sacramento. … Two years later, the 2028 presidential primary could get a little awkward in Illinois if native sons Rahm Emanuel and Gov. JB Pritzker both run, NBC's Natasha Korecki reports. BEST OF THE REST BILL OF HEALTH: HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is slated to hold a news conference at 2:45 p.m. about what's being billed as 'a breakthrough in health insurance that will improve access to care for millions.' … On the flip side, after Kennedy dismissed the entire CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, some experts are working on outside groups to serve as alternatives still providing independent vaccine info, NBC's Erika Edwards reports. PRIMARY COLORS: Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) is already feeling the heat for his opposition to the reconciliation bill and his constitutional criticism of Trump's Iran strikes. His reward for not toeing the party line is 'an aggressive effort' by Trump's political team to primary him, Axios' Alex Isenstadt scooped. Tony Fabrizio and Chris LaCivita are leading a new 'Kentucky MAGA' super PAC, meeting with potential opponents and planning to spend big. '@realDonaldTrump declared so much War on me today it should require an Act of Congress,' Massie cheekily retorted on X to Trump's latest Truth Social takedown. IMMIGRATION FILES: A federal judge said she'll order the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the mistakenly deported man who's been returned to the U.S., per the AP. It was a significant rebuke for the Trump administration, which will appeal — and a Pyrrhic victory for Abrego, who would be expected to get detained and potentially deported by ICE if released on his immigrant smuggling charges. The judge said the government had failed to prove Abrego had abused minors, was a danger to the community or posed a flight risk. 'And she repeatedly described the evidence presented by prosecutors as strained, unreliable and contradictory,' POLITICO's Josh Gerstein and Kyle Cheney report. MAHMOUD KHALIL SPEAKS: In his first interview since being released, the activist and permanent resident told NYT's Jonah Bromwich that his detention had stripped him of his rights: 'It felt like kidnapping.' And he argued that the administration's high-profile efforts to deport him had 'actually advanced the [pro-Palestinian] movement 20 years.' TALK OF THE TOWN SPOTTED: Stephen and Katie Miller on Sea Island, Georgia, this weekend. IN MEMORIAM — 'Fred Smith, Billionaire Founder of FedEx, Is Dead at 80,' by NYT's Alex Traub: 'Success translated into decades of influence in national politics. Mr. Smith got a personal meeting with President Bill Clinton in the Oval Office. He was a pallbearer at Senator John McCain's funeral. … He was closest to President George W. Bush … Mr. Smith was widely reported to be in the running to serve as Mr. Bush's secretary of defense before withdrawing from consideration. … [T]hanks to the corporate tax cuts Mr. Trump signed into law, which FedEx had lobbied for, the company's tax bill plunged to zero, from $1.5 billion.' — 'Rod Nordland, 75, Dies; War Reporter Who Also Wrote of His Own Struggle,' by NYT's Alex Traub: 'He was on the scene and frequently running a whole news bureau during the Cambodian-Vietnamese War, the Lebanese Civil War, the Salvadoran Civil War, the First Gulf War, the war in Kosovo, the Iraq War and the War in Afghanistan, among other conflicts.' SCARY STUFF — Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) had a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy last year, which was made more complicated by a new Florida abortion ban that left doctors scared to give her methotrexate, WSJ's Katy Stech Ferek revealed. Now pregnant again, Cammack doesn't blame the abortion ban — she says it was the left's fault for scaring medical staff. She emphasizes that 'I would stand with any woman — Republican or Democrat — and fight for them to be able to get care in a situation where they are experiencing a miscarriage and an ectopic.' SCENE SETTER — On Palm Beach, a Trump-fueled 'noisy influx of young Republican partyers, favor-seekers and pols … have altered the delicate social ecosystem of one of the richest enclaves in the world,' NYT's David Segal reports from Florida.

Supercells again threaten severe weather in Minnesota on Sunday

Supercells again threaten severe weather in Minnesota on Sunday originally appeared on Bring Me The News. Sunday could turn in another round of severe weather in Minnesota, with areas that were hit hard early Saturday once again at risk for large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes. The National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm watch for eastern North Dakota and northwest Minnesota at 9:05 a.m., and the watch is in effect until 2 p.m. Tornadoes, hail up to two inches in diameter, and winds up to 70 mph are possible. The morning storms are expected to be the first of two rounds of potentially severe weather in Minnesota today, with more explosive storm development in northwest Minnesota is expected once the cap breaks after 4 p.m. According to the Storm Prediction Center, the second round of storms could feature supercells capable of producing tornadoes, very large hail and winds up to 75 mph. Sign up for our MINNESOTA WEATHER newsletters More storms could develop along a cold front to the southwest — in the Dakotas — and move to the east-northeast late Sunday night into Monday morning. Large hail and damaging winds will be the main threat with those, but a strong cap over central and southern Minnesota could limit how far east the storms remain strong. Here's how the HRRR model simulates the radar from 10 a.m. Sunday to 8 a.m. Monday. The NAM model shows a similar evolution, and notice how the storms in southern Minnesota struggle to maintain as they approach the Twin Cities. That's a factor of the models picking up on the strong cap that will be in place. More storms are possible in southeastern Minnesota in Monday, followed by potential for heavy rain in southern Minnesota Tuesday and Wednesday as the frontal boundary stalls near the Minnesota-Iowa story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on Jun 22, 2025, where it first appeared.

6 dead, 2 missing after boat capsizes on Lake Tahoe during sudden storm

Six people died and two remained missing after a boat capsized Saturday afternoon near D.L. Bliss State Park on Lake Tahoe, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. Authorities said the 27-foot Chris-Craft vessel overturned shortly after 3 p.m. amid a sudden storm that ushered in high winds and rough waters. The Coast Guard reported winds of up to 30 knots at the time of the incident. 'Callers indicated that approximately 10 individuals were in the water near the vessel, with reported wave heights reaching 8 feet,' the office said. Local news outlet South Tahoe Now reported that rescuers arrived at the state park after a lifeguard and a ranger initially spotted people in the water. They pulled two individuals onto nearby rocks and began performing CPR. The lifeguard then entered the water to rescue another person. Both were brought aboard a Coast Guard boat, but the rescued individual did not survive, according to the outlet. The two individuals who were rescued were transported to a local hospital. Six adults were recovered from the water and pronounced dead. The search for the remaining two people is ongoing. 'We had a boat booked, just waiting at the dock—and within 30 minutes, the skies flipped,' said Jessica Cox, a visitor who shared her experience on TikTok. 'Heavy rain. Sudden snow. Boats struggling to get back.' Cox, who was at The Grove Bar & Grill in South Lake Tahoe during the storm, said the rapid shift in weather left many stunned. 'Boats missing. Properties damaged,' she said. 'We watched in real time, shocked and praying. Thankfully, rescue crews responded fast—grateful to God for keeping us safe.' She added that longtime residents told her it was 'the weirdest weather they've seen on Lake Tahoe in 30+ years.' Witnesses reported seeing several boats capsize during the storm as severe weather swept across the lake. According to the National Weather Service, between 2:15 and 4:15 p.m., temperatures dropped sharply from 54 degrees to 37 degrees as a thunderstorm moved through the area. Wind gusts reached up to 37 mph at the South Lake Tahoe Airport and as high as 45 mph over the middle of the lake. The winds were coming from the north, which is less typical for the region and may have contributed to the severity of the conditions and the resulting damage. The sheriff's office said its search and rescue and dive teams would resume operations Sunday morning. The identities of the deceased have not been released pending notification of next of kin. The Coast Guard responded alongside California State Parks, the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office and other local agencies. The cause of the capsizing is under investigation.
