Lehi, Utah has been buzzing with activity over the past 24 hours as spring makes its presence known with typical Utah flair. Thursday started off with a bit of a chill, as temperatures dipped to the low 40s in the morning and climbed to a mild 57 by afternoon, with broken clouds giving way to occasional patches of blue sky. By Friday, things warmed up a bit more, reaching a comfortable high near 67, offering ideal weather for outdoor events and late-season sports action.
Local high school athletes took full advantage of the cooperative skies. Lehi High School’s baseball team wrapped up the regular season with a 5-2 victory over their rivals from American Fork in a game that saw strong pitching and a big home run in the fifth inning. Meanwhile, the girls’ soccer team battled hard but fell just short in a tight 1-0 match against Lone Peak, capping off a spirited week of competition.
For allergy sufferers, Lehi’s pollen count has been moderate lately, typical for mid-May, particularly with trees and grasses in full swing. Residents have been reaching for tissues but finding relief in the pleasant breezes that have helped disperse the pollen. Air quality has also been holding steady in the good range, making those after-school park trips or evening walks along the Jordan River Parkway trail extra inviting.
In community news, this week’s Lehi Farmers Market opened for its first Thursday of the season. Locals flocked to buy fresh strawberries, homemade breads, and sample the debut of a new food truck specializing in Utah-style fry sauce burgers. The Lehi Public Library also launched their summer reading program, drawing eager young readers with promises of prizes and a kickoff storytime event.
As the weekend approaches, Lehi residents can expect continued mild weather with highs in the low 70s and a chance for more sunshine, perfect for graduations, neighborhood barbecues, and everything in between. Whether you spent the last 24 hours cheering for your favorite team, browsing market stalls, or simply savoring the fresh air, Lehi is embracing spring in style.
