Why are Utah’s skies hazy? Blame the abnormally early fire season in Canada
The National Weather Service confirmed Friday that smoke primarily from Alberta, Canada, is seeping down into Utah.
KSL meteorologist Matt Johnson explains that there are currently a pair of high-pressure systems set up in the West — one over California and another over the Montana-Alberta border — that's pushing wildfire smoke south into the U.S.' Intermountain region, including Utah.
"We might be seeing it this weekend thanks to that flow out of the north," he said. "It's just coming down in that northerly flow. We are seeing nasty, nasty air. It's just too soon to be seeing the smoke but that's the origin, it's way up north."
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is drawing fire for refusing to cover immunotherapy drugs that target early-stage Alzheimer’s disease, although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved them.
At issue is a decision for aducanumab (sold as Aduhelm), which agency officials have said applies to all future treatments — including those not yet developed — that use monoclonal antibodies and received accelerated rather than traditional approval from the FDA.
