Smoke Management Forecast
National Weather Service Salt Lake City Utah
426 AM MDT Mon Sep 25 2023......Cheng

.DISCUSSION...An improvement in mixing conditions is expected today
as the ridge axis shifts east and a weak but dry disturbance
approaches Utah. Clearing indices will trend downward a bit tomorrow
as transport winds decrease, but good to fair mixing can still be
expected across many areas. A general improvement in mixing is
expected on Wednesday ahead of a dry cold front, but on Thursday
northwest Utah is expected to see a decrease in mixing behind the
cold front while the rest of Utah should maintain good to excellent
mixing conditions.
