Listen Later

Lehi, Utah is buzzing with springtime energy and fresh stories today. Residents woke up to clear skies and brisk morning air, with temperatures climbing into the upper 50s by midday—perfect weather for stepping outside, unless you suffer from allergies. The pollen count remains high this week, with tree and grass pollens swirling in the breeze and leaving many locals reaching for the tissues and allergy meds.

Sports fans had a lot to cheer about over the past 24 hours. The Lehi High School Pioneers baseball team edged out a thrilling 5-4 victory over the Skyridge Falcons last night, capping off an intense game that had families on both sides of the stands holding their breath until the final inning. Meanwhile, on the soccer field, the Lady Pioneers played to a hard-fought 2-2 draw against American Fork. Both teams left everything on the turf, much to the excitement of a crowd bundled up against the cool spring evening.

Those enjoying outdoor activities also noticed the air quality index was holding steady in the good-to-moderate range—great news for runners and cyclists looking to take advantage of the clearer air. However, local allergists warn that the elevated pollen counts, measured at the Riverton Hospital’s new collection site, could make conditions tough for those with sensitivities, so be sure to keep an eye on daily updates if you’re prone to sneezing fits.

Around town, people are talking about a peculiar incident from yesterday afternoon, when an 18-year-old man was arrested after aggressively soliciting door-to-door without a permit. Several residents reported the young man tried to enter homes and even exited one neighbor’s garage uninvited. Police acted swiftly following these calls and found the determined solicitor charging his Segway at a nearby church without permission. He told officers he just wanted to make face-to-face contact with people, but he’ll now be making his case in court instead.

With the week off to a lively start, Lehi locals have plenty to look forward to as April rounds out. Upcoming events include Fontaines D C performing tonight at the Union Event Center for those looking for some live music a short drive away. With good weather, bustling sports, and a few quirky headlines, spring is definitely in full swing here in Lehi.
