Provo, Utah – Central Utah may see brief winter weather signals late next week, but current guidance points to only a limited chance for snow, with no strong indication of a widespread or high-impact event.
According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, central Utah sits on the southern edge of a broader cold pattern from Saturday through the following Friday. While colder air is expected to move into the region at times, storm systems crossing the Intermountain West appear weak or moisture-limited, keeping snowfall potential on the lower end.
Along the Wasatch Front and nearby valleys, including Provo and Orem, overnight and early morning temperatures could dip low enough to support light snow or flurries if moisture is present. Any accumulation would likely be minor, though brief slick spots could develop along Interstate 15 and elevated roadways during colder hours.
Farther south and east, including Price and the Castle Valley, cold and mostly dry conditions are favored. In central-southern Utah, including Richfield and Sevier County, higher terrain may see spotty light snow, but impacts are expected to remain limited without a stronger system.
The Utah Department of Transportation advises drivers to remain alert during early morning travel, especially near mountain passes and shaded roads. While significant winter weather is not anticipated at this time, updates may follow if colder air or storm tracks shift later next week.
