Salt Lake City, UT – Accumulating mountain snow is expected through Tuesday afternoon, impacting higher elevations across central and southern Utah.
According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, snow levels will largely remain above 6,500 feet, with total accumulations of 3 to 8 inches expected. Higher totals are possible in favored areas, including Brian Head and the Tushar Mountains.
Forecasters say snowfall will occur in two main periods, with lighter snow developing Monday morning followed by a heavier period late Monday afternoon into Tuesday morning.
The weather risk is considered minor, but officials note the snow could still create travel impacts in mountain areas, particularly on higher elevation routes.
Drivers are advised to slow down, allow extra travel time, and be prepared for winter driving conditions. Officials also recommend carrying a winter survival kit and checking road conditions before traveling through mountainous terrain.
The timing of snowfall may affect commuters and travelers using mountain passes through Tuesday afternoon.
