While it’s generally safe for most folks, those with sensitive conditions might want to limit prolonged exposure outdoors. The city’s trees are also contributing to the pollen count, which remains high. Cottonwood pollen is the primary culprit, making spring allergies a reality for many residents.

No arrests have been made yet, but the probe is ongoing. On a brighter note, Meridian residents are rallying around those impacted by Scentsy’s recent layoff announcement, as 116 employees face job transitions.

As for events, the calendar is packed with opportunities to enjoy the season. Keep an eye out for the opening of new mountain biking trails above Hulls Gulch Reserve, where construction is set to begin mid-April.
