SALT LAKE CITY — The National Weather Service in Salt Lake City has issued a winter storm warning and advisory, expecting heavy snow and powerful winds throughout the state.
Snowfall is expected to roll in across the mountains Sunday, lasting through Tuesday.
Snow will start across the mountains of Utah Sunday lasting through Monday with lingering snow into Tuesday. A gradual transition from rain to snow will occur late this evening for valleys and continue into Monday, which could bring travel difficulties Monday A.M. (NWS)
It may begin as rain and transition into snow later Sunday evening. As the night goes on, there may be breaks but snowfall is expected to continue lightly Monday morning. Then, more snow showers are expected in northern Utah through Monday night.
The NWS warning states that there could be 6-12 inches in the Ogden Valley and Wasatch Back, with the heaviest snowfall between 5 p.m. Sunday and 8 a.m. Monday, making for hazardous conditions to impact the morning and evening commutes.
Timing & elevations will be key across N. Utah valleys (where advisories exist) as cold air will be slow to filter in and a transition to snow could take some time for lower valley elevations. Additionally, snow totals are for the entire storm w/ breaks possible throughout. #utwx
