Smoke Management Forecast
National Weather Service Salt Lake City Utah
326 AM MDT Tue Aug 5 2025......Cheng

.DISCUSSION...A small pocket across the northwest Utah deserts will
see slightly decreased mixing today as the airmass becomes more
stable behind a cold front and mixing heights and transport winds
decrease. Mixing there should improve tomorrow before another cold
front reduces mixing again on Friday. Otherwise, the rest of the
area will continue to see excellent mixing due to a breezy southwest
flow through the rest of the week.
