Good morning, Lehi! The Wasatch Front woke up to clear skies and a cool breeze, with early summer sunshine pushing temperatures into the high 70s by noon. Yesterday’s weather offered near-perfect conditions for outdoor activities, and today promises more of the same: highs around 82°F, low humidity, and just a light southern wind keeping things comfortable. Allergy sufferers, take note—the pollen count remains moderate, mostly thanks to grass and a late burst of cottonwood pollen, so keep those tissues handy if you’re headed outside.
In local sports, Lehi High’s baseball team wrapped up their season last night with a hard-fought win over Riverton, 7-5, in front of an enthusiastic home crowd. The Pioneers’ softball squad also made headlines, closing out their state tournament run with a dramatic extra-innings victory, cheered on by parents and classmates as the sun set over the mountains. Over at the Lehi Aquatic Center, the swim team launched their summer season, with several personal bests set in freestyle and butterfly events.
The air quality remains healthy in northern Utah, with an Air Quality Index in the good range—no restrictions for outdoor exercise or recreation. Local parks and hiking trails saw above-average foot traffic as residents took advantage of the fresh air and blue skies.
But the community’s heart remains with the Sharp family after the tragic loss of 14-year-old Jenna Sharp, who passed away earlier this week after being struck by a car outside the Lehi Rodeo Grounds. Streets near her family’s home have transformed into avenues of remembrance, lined with American flags, hearts, handwritten notes, and bright ribbons. Neighbors gathered again last night to honor her memory, sharing stories and celebrating Jenna’s kindness and inclusive spirit. The outpouring of support has been overwhelming, with messages of love and condolences stretching from schools to local churches and sports fields. One neighbor summed up the mood: We grieve as a community, and we support each other as a community.
Events this weekend include the Lehi Farmers Market, which opens at noon with local produce, food trucks, and crafts, plus a city-sponsored outdoor movie night at Wines Park. With great weather and strong community spirit, there’s never been a better time to come together, remember, and support each other in Lehi.
