Salt Lake City, UT – A winter weather advisory remains in effect for several areas in northern and central Utah, bringing snow, strong winds, and hazardous travel conditions through tonight.
According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, the advisory impacts regions including the Wasatch Mountains, Salt Lake Valley, Utah Valley, and the Central Mountains. Snowfall totals are expected to range from 2 to 4 inches, with some areas experiencing wind gusts up to 75 mph. The advisory is in place until midnight MDT for Salt Lake and Utah Valleys, while other regions may see conditions ease by 9 p.m.
The most significant impacts will be winter driving conditions, with traction laws potentially enacted in some mountain areas. A heavier lake effect snow band is expected to develop in Salt Lake and Utah Counties, possibly leading to rapid accumulation on roadways.
Travelers are advised to slow down and use caution, especially in areas prone to snow squalls. For updated road conditions, the Utah Department of Transportation provides real-time traffic updates at udottraffic.utah.gov.
Officials urge residents to plan ahead, as snowfall combined with strong winds could reduce visibility and create slick road conditions.
