That big storm Utahns have been warned to expect on Tuesday night and Wednesday may dump even more snow on the state than originally expected.
Utah’s northern mountains are expected to get 2-3 feet of snow, with even more in some areas, and 1-2 feet is forecast for the central and southern mountains.
The storm, which will begin as rain before changing over to snow, is moving into Utah from the north, and is expected to impact virtually the entire state. A band of moderate to heavy snow is expected to reach Ogden about 3 p.m. Tuesday, and hit Salt Lake City about 4-5 p.m. The Utah Department of Transportation is advising commuters to leave work early on Tuesday afternoon, if possible. The weather service agreed with that advisory, adding, “If you have the option to telework or postpone travel Wednesday morning, consider doing so.”In Salt Lake City, temperatures will reach the mid-40s on Tuesday before the storm arrives, falling to the low 20s overnight. Wednesday’s forecast high is just 25, with an overnight low of 19.
The storm front will gradually shift south, and will “eventually slow down or even stall for a time” from roughly Beaver County to the Uinta Basin on Tuesday night, according to the National Weather Service. By Wednesday, most of the rest of the state will experience “at least a period of snow.”High wind warnings will be in effect in much of southern Utah. In the St. George area and Zion National Park, southwest winds of 30-40 mph are expected, with gusts up to 65 mph, from 2 p.m.
In St. George, there’s a chance of snow — half an inch to an inch — on Tuesday night and Wednesday, with a chance of small accumulations on Thursday and Friday. Temperatures will fall from the low 60s on Tuesday to the low to mid-40s on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
