We all can agree that, “In fourteen hundred ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” That much is true of the childhood rhyme, like Monday being sunny, and in the north cool, while further south was the same, but warmer, too.
The Salt Lake and Tooele valleys forecast was for winds of 20 mph, highs in the mid-50s; Tuesday will be calmer, and in the mid-60s. In southern Utah, stiff winds prevailed, gusting to 45 mph, with highs around 70.
But Tuesday in the redrocks will dawn bright, and the deserts warm; the mercury will climb to the upper-70s, or near the norm.
