Good morning, Provo.

Three new Utah County school districts now have official names ahead of their 2027 launch.

Timpanogos School District (serving Lindon, Orem, Pleasant Grove and Vineyard), Aspen Peaks, and Lake Mountain boards will select superintendents in February.

In 2025, Utah set heat records as the average temperature reached 51.9°F, breaking a 91-year record from 1934; state weather also recorded new highs and minimums amid a drier winter, and experts warned that rising temperatures & reduced snowpack could challenge future water supplies.

On Wednesday, Jan. 14, BYU Cougars overcame an early struggle to defeat TCU 76-70 at the Marriott Center in Provo, with freshman AJ Dybantsa (despite illness) scoring a game-high 25 points.

The win improved their conference record to 4-0 and set them up to face Texas Tech next.
