Salt Lake City, UT – Snow is already creating hazardous travel across Utah’s higher terrain early Monday, with heavier bursts expected to intensify conditions again by late afternoon and into Tuesday morning.
According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, a Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 3 p.m. Tuesday for the Central and Southern Mountains. Snow totals will range from 3 to 8 inches, with locally higher amounts up to 12 inches near Brian Head and the Tushar Mountains.
Roads above 6,500 feet, including areas near Fish Lake, Cove Fort, and Joes Valley, are most at risk for accumulating snow and slick roadways. The first round of heavier snowfall is expected through early Monday morning, followed by a second, more impactful wave developing late Monday afternoon and lasting into Tuesday morning.
Travelers heading through mountain routes should be prepared for sudden drops in visibility and snow-covered pavement, especially during these peak snowfall windows. Utah Department of Transportation crews may respond to changing road conditions, but delays are likely.
Drivers are urged to slow down, carry emergency supplies, and check UDOT traffic updates before heading out. Snow impacts will persist through Tuesday afternoon, and additional advisories could follow if snowfall rates increase.
