SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Although today Utah residents could breath in some of the worst air all winter -- the bad air won't stick around long.

Forecasters say a small storm is expected to blow in tomorrow and clean out the bad stuff.

State officials says this has been a good winter up until this point. They say Utah usually has dreadful air this time of the year.

However, this year's lightweight storms and low pressure systems have kept the air relatively clean.

Yesterday, Utah officials issued a "yellow burn" warning for Davis, Salt Lake and Utah counties. Yellow burn conditions mean Utahns can voluntarily limit wood-stove burning.

Last night, officials found the worst air quality in Utah County, the best in Weber.
