SALT LAKE CITY — Smoky air is filling the Wasatch Front from Heber Valley to Utah County and beyond.
KSL Meteorologist Grant Weyman says there’s a combination of smoke producers out there and the bad air is being carried into the valleys by high-level winds.
Weyman says all the smoke is also affecting our air quality.
