In Lehi, Utah, the past 24 hours have been marked by a mix of solemn news, typical winter weather, and ongoing environmental conditions.

### Tragic Incident at Construction Site
A somber note was struck with the discovery of a construction worker's body at a worksite in Lehi. The worker, who had not returned home, was found pinned against a forklift boom truck. His wife, aided by coworkers, located his body at the construction site near 3200 North and 1200 West. Authorities are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident, which appears to have occurred overnight[1].

### Winter Weather
As of the latest report, Lehi is experiencing cold winter weather, consistent with the season. The temperature at the nearby Salt Lake City International Airport was recorded at 36.0°F, with a light breeze of 4.6 mph and overcast cloud cover. This chilly and calm weather is typical for January in the region[2].

### Pollen Count
Despite the cold, allergens are still present, albeit at lower levels than in the spring and summer. Currently, the pollen count in the Salt Lake City area, which includes Lehi, shows low levels of pollen. Mountain cedar, or Ashe juniper, is a notable allergen during this time, but overall pollen counts are not a significant concern at the moment[3].

### Air Quality
The air quality in Salt Lake County, which encompasses Lehi, is moderate. The PM 2.5 level is at 27.6 µg/m³, and ozone levels are at 0.018 ppm. These readings indicate that the air quality is generally good, with no immediate health concerns for the general public. However, individuals with sensitive respiratory conditions should remain aware of these levels[4].

### High School Sports
While specific high school sports scores for the past 24 hours are not readily available, Lehi's high schools are known for their active sports programs. Typically, this time of year sees basketball and wrestling seasons in full swing, with teams competing in local and regional matches.

In summary, Lehi is navigating a tragic incident, cold winter weather, and manageable environmental conditions. As the community comes together to support those affected by the construction site incident, residents can take comfort in the relatively good air quality and low pollen counts, making outdoor activities more pleasant despite the chill.
