In Lehi, Utah, the past 24 hours have been filled with excitement and interesting events. On January 13, the city woke up to a unique and unexpected visitor – a herd of elk made an early morning appearance at Viewpoint Middle School. The elk, seemingly out for a morning trot, caused a stir among students, parents, and staff. School personnel quickly intervened to guide the elk back to safety, and the animals were seen racing away from the school grounds into an open field across the road, heading towards the sunrise.

As for the weather, January 14 has seen overcast conditions with a temperature of around 36.0°F, which is quite cold. There has been no precipitation in the last 24 hours, and the wind has been a light breeze at 4.6 mph[2].

For those concerned about allergies, the pollen count in the Salt Lake City area, which includes Lehi, is currently low. The primary allergen at this time is from mountain cedar or Ashe juniper, but the counts are not significantly high on January 14, with tree pollen levels at 13 PPM and grass and weed pollen at 0 PPM[3].

Air quality in the region remains good, with PM 2.5 levels at 3.3 µg/m3 and ozone levels at 0.03 ppm, well within the safe range according to the Utah air quality index[4].

While there are no high school sports scores to report from the last 24 hours, the community is likely still buzzing from the unusual elk visit and preparing for the rest of the week.

In summary, Lehi has experienced a mix of natural wonder, cold weather, and good air quality over the past day, making it an interesting and pleasant time for residents and visitors alike.
