Winter Storm Watch for Northern Utah

A big storm is expected to bring rain and then snow to much of Utah early this week. The northern part of the state will be hit hard. A winter storm watch is in effect for northern Utah from Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning. Considerable snow may accumulate, even in valley locations.

An advanced front is expected to cross Utah Monday evening, producing some rain. Rain may continue off and on Tuesday. Showers will change to snow sometime Tuesday or Tuesday night, and become heavy overnight.

The probability of snowfall is nearly 100% in many areas.

Utah ski resorts will certainly pick up new snow, and that will extend the spring ski season.

Sunshine and spring conditions will return later in the week. Early forecasts suggest the coming weekend will be dry, warm and beautiful.
