344 FNUS75 KSLC 160758 SMFSLC Smoke Management Forecast National Weather Service Salt Lake City Utah 127 AM MDT Fri May 16 2025......Whitlam .DISCUSSION...A weak weather system traversing the region today maintains good to excellent clearing index values this afternoon. A potent weather system moving into the Great Basin on Saturday will yield excellent clearing across all air sheds through the weekend as strong mid-to-upper level flow develops across the state. Some localized areas across northern Utah airsheds may see clearing index values drop to fair due to limited mixing behind this system on Monday afternoon.
