Listen Later

In Lehi, Utah, the past 24 hours have been marked by a mix of significant events and typical winter conditions.

### Fatal Crash on I-15
A tragic accident occurred on February 12, just before noon, when a multi-vehicle crash involving an SUV resulted in the death of one person. The incident happened on northbound Interstate 15 near the Point of the Mountain, at the border of Salt Lake and Utah counties. The Utah Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of the crash, which closed four right-hand lanes of I-15 for several hours, although two left lanes remained open[1].

### Weather
As of the latest reports, the weather in Lehi has been characterized by moderate conditions. On February 12, the temperature was around 48°F, with a moderate breeze of 16.1 mph and mostly cloudy skies. There was minimal precipitation, with only 0.02 inches recorded in the last hour. Today, February 13, is expected to continue with similar weather patterns, making it a typical winter day in the area[2].

### Pollen Count
While pollen levels are generally lower in February compared to the peak spring and summer months, the current pollen count in Salt Lake City, which is nearby, is moderate. Mountain cedar and pine trees are among the allergens present during this time, though they are not as potent as during the peak pollen seasons. Residents are advised to take preventive measures, especially during temperature inversions that can trap pollutants and pollen in the valley[3].

### Air Quality
The air quality in Salt Lake County, which includes Lehi, is currently within moderate levels. As of the last update, the PM 2.5 levels were at 51.9 µg/m³, and ozone levels were at 0.037 ppm. These values indicate that the air quality is not ideal but is not hazardous either. Residents, especially those with sensitive health conditions, should be aware of these levels to take necessary precautions[4].

### Local Events
While there are no specific high school sports scores available for the past 24 hours, the community is gearing up for various events. In nearby Millcreek, several activities are planned to celebrate love and Black History Month. These include a public market, a Black History movie night, and a heritage trail panel, all scheduled for later in February[5].

In summary, Lehi has experienced a significant traffic incident, moderate weather, manageable pollen and air quality levels, and is looking forward to community events in the coming weeks.
