Utah Weather Forecast

Outlook

A strong cold front will move into northern Utah tonight into Thursday morning. Heavy precipitation will be likely along this band and there is potential that snow levels could fully drop to the valleys floors. Given the warm conditions prior to the cold front's arrival, snow may struggle stick on the valley floors, but under a strong enough cell - it could, so plan some extra time into the morning commute. There looks to be a lull behind the cold front mid to late morning, then some scattered valley rain and mountain snow showers may redevelop Thursday afternoon and evening. On Friday, there's a chance for lake effect snow showers to develop, however, where is uncertain. Neither day will be a washout. We'll dry out by Friday evening, and stay that way through the weekend! Forecast totals right now: northern mountains 5-10", Cottonwoods 10-18", central mountains 6-12", and southern 4-8". Northern valleys less than 1" and benches 2-4" (locally higher due to lake effect), Wasatch Back 3-6" locally higher in Park City, and central valleys 1-2". Rain totals for the valleys along the I-15 corridor will generally be around .10" to .30". - Devan Masciulli, KSL Weather 3.4.26
