Utah Weather Warning: Snowstorm Set to Impact Northern Mountains Starting Saturday Morning
Salt Lake City , Utah – A strong Pacific Northwest storm system is expected to bring significant snowfall to northern Utah’s mountains starting early Saturday. Snow accumulation could reach 6 to 12 inches in some areas, creating hazardous travel conditions.
The National Weather Service (NWS) in Salt Lake City reports that the heaviest snowfall will occur Saturday morning, with rates of up to two inches per hour. A cold front will push through the region, lowering temperatures and making driving on mountain routes, including those leading to the Upper Cottonwoods, difficult.
Travelers are advised to prepare for delays and ensure their vehicles are equipped with snow tires or chains. The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) recommends checking road conditions on their website, udottraffic.utah.gov, before hitting the road.

The rest of the week will remain chilly, with small chances of rain or snow through Tuesday. Highs will stay in the upper 30s to low 40s, and partly sunny skies are expected by Wednesday.
