Daytime highs across northern Utah will warm into the mid-upper 20s. If you’re in the higher elevations, expect even cooler conditions with daytime highs only warming into the 10s and low 20s. Southern Utah will be a few degrees warmer with highs in the 30s and 40s for the typically warm spots. The good news is that we should see plenty of sunshine throughout the day, helping to make it look a little warmer in spots.
Thursday night will feature another frigid night across the area with overnight lows once again dropping back down into the single-digits and teens across many areas. Overnight lows will dip into the 20s again for far SW Utah.
A Winter Storm will arrive across the Beehive state Thursday midday into Thursday afternoon. This will bring first a round of snow for most of Utah, with a rain/snow mix for St. George. Snow chances across the state will continue into Thursday evening.
This will be the first window where valley locations could pick up some light accumulations. Temperatures will begin to warm and snow levels will rise from around 4,000 ft to around 5,500 ft. by Thursday night into Friday morning, which means below the upper benches will transition over to a cold rain, or a rain-snow mix.
Areas from the upper benches through the mountains will remain all snow on Thursday, leading to significant snow accumulations for those areas. As colder air returns and snow levels drop once again, another period of snow may return to the valley floors Friday night into Saturday morning leading to more light accumulations.
The precipitation should taper off during the day on Saturday, with drier conditions returning Sunday.
A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for all of our mountains (north, central, and southern) from Thursday through Saturday. The northern and central mountains, Western Uintas, Wasatch Plateau/Book Cliffs, and the Wasatch Back are under the warning from Thursday morning through Saturday afternoon. The Southern Mountains and Bryce Canyon County’s Winter Storm Warning ends a day earlier on Friday evening.
Mountain snow totals will be healthy with this storm system. The northern mountains could get 1-2′ feet with up to 3 feet possible for the Upper Cottonwoods, Central Mountains will see about 8-14 inches, and Southern Mountains could get a much-needed 10-20 inches. Mountain valleys will also have a good chance for decent snow accumulation with 4-8 inches in the forecast, and 8-14 inches of snow for the Wasatch Back.
For the Valley floors, the exact snow levels and changes between rain and snow will make it hard to see significant accumulations, but as of now the thinking is a dusting to 2 inches possible, but the benches will see more with 2-4 inches expected.
Stay tuned!
