Utah is set to experience strong winds and significant mountain snowfall over the weekend. Many areas along the Wasatch Front are expected to receive their first measurable snow of the season. Wind gusts exceeding 45 mph are anticipated in parts of western Utah through Friday afternoon. Mountain regions throughout the state could accumulate between 6 to 12 inches of snow by late Saturday, with localized totals possibly reaching up to 20 inches. The weekend weather will be influenced by two storm systems that are forecasted to bring wind, rain, and snow to the region. The first system is expected to arrive Friday night into Saturday, causing snow levels to drop to between 5,000 and 6,000 feet. Following this, a second, colder system is projected to move in Saturday night into Sunday morning, which will lower snow levels to the valley floors in northern Utah. This could result in measurable snow along most of the Wasatch Front Saturday night into early Sunday. Temperatures are likely to fall to or below seasonal averages over the weekend, but a rebound to near-average temperatures is expected early next week. By midweek, high pressure is anticipated to return, although temperature inversions could hinder warming in some northern valleys and may have an impact on air quality. Residents are encouraged to prepare for the weather conditions and stay informed through local weather updates.
