PARK CITY, Utah — The Salt Lake City National Weather Service office said to expect an increase in smoke concentrations from western wildfires this weekend.

8/13 – Planning ahead? Good job! Looking ahead at our forecast, smoke looks to re-enter Utah Sunday from the north arriving Northern Utah areas first then continuing a southward track throughout the day. If you have outdoor plans, consider this in your planning. #UTwx pic.twitter.com/jR9ESnKm4L
