The Winter Weather Advisory for the Northern Mountains, including the Wasatch Plateau and Western Uintas, is in effect through midnight tonight. Throughout this advisory, the mountains are expected to pick up an additional 6-12″. Although the winter alerts will expire today, some lingering moisture will remain on Monday and provide isolated rain and snow showers. While snow levels will largely remain above 6,000 feet. Some snowfall is expected in the mountain valleys, and an additional 1-3″ is possible today with few snow showers on Monday. Travel will be impacted with winter driving conditions, and patchy blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility.
On Monday, the storm system moves southeast and begins to move away from the state. The threat for isolated showers remains with a greater focus on southern Utah Monday evening. High pressure then sets up on Tuesday and should usher in a period of dry weather with significant warming. Daytime highs are expected to rebound from the low 50s along the Wasatch Front early in the week, to near 70 degrees by Thursday. Stay tuned.
Bottom line?! A low pressure system rotating through the state will keep moisture in place. Valley rain and mountain snow showers linger into Monday.
