Inversion firmly in place; Air quality gets worse

Posted
and last updated

Valley inversions across northern & central Utah will stay in place through Saturday.

With cold air trapped in the valleys, some temperatures could drop a little lower than yesterday. As the inversion gets stronger, air quality will get worse and become unhealthy for sensitive groups.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that a storm on Sunday will break up the inversion, and at the very least bring better air quality! Rain & snow might be modest with this storm, but it's going to usher in colder air with a big drop in temps by early next week.
