An atmospheric river is set to impact northern Utah, bringing significant moisture to the region throughout the weekend. The influx of moisture is expected to deliver rainfall primarily in the valleys, while the mountains will receive a mix of rain and snow. Due to the current warm temperatures, snow levels are forecasted to remain elevated. This means that even areas in the Wasatch Back, which typically see snowfall, are likely to experience more rainfall than snow accumulation. The anticipated snowfall, where it does occur, is expected to be minimal and may not stick to the ground effectively. In the higher elevations, the mountains are projected to fare slightly better than the valleys. While rain will still be a significant component, some areas may receive enough snow to create a temporary cover. However, the overall impact of any snowfall will be limited due to the warm conditions prevailing in the region. Officials are advising residents to prepare for wet conditions, particularly in the valleys where rain could lead to localized flooding. Travelers are encouraged to exercise caution, especially in mountainous areas where visibility may be reduced due to mixed precipitation. As the weekend progresses, meteorologists will continue to monitor the situation, providing updates on precipitation amounts and any potential impacts on travel and daily activities. It’s important for residents to stay informed about changing weather conditions as they plan their weekend activities.
