A warming trend will bring improved mixing across central and southern Utah Thursday, while stable air continues to limit mixing across the north. By Friday good to excellent mixing is expected to return to all air sheds, with some decrease in mixing on Saturday for eastern valleys thanks to the presence of showers associated with an area of low pressure moving through the area. Stable conditions will return to the area behind this low, with fair to good mixing most areas on Sunday.
