Salt Lake City, Utah—From Thursday through Saturday, a powerful, moisture-rich storm is expected to dump a lot of snow on Utah’s mountain regions, with most areas seeing accumulations of 1-2 feet. Totals could approach three feet at higher elevations, such as the Bear River Range and Cottonwoods.
Snowfall is expected to start Thursday and last through Friday in southern Utah and last through Saturday in northern regions, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) Salt Lake City. Bryce Canyon may receive 6–12 inches, while the Wasatch Back is predicted to receive 8–14 inches.
Because heavy snowfall impairs visibility and increases the likelihood of road closures, travel conditions might become dangerous, especially from Thursday night into Friday morning. Officials advise drivers to check for traction limits on mountain routes, pack survival gear, and be ready for winter weather.
