Winter driving conditions expected in northern Utah on Tuesday morning

A fast-moving storm isn’t expected to drop much snow in most areas.

A fast-moving storm will bring snow to northern Utah mountains — and possibly the valleys — Monday night, which will make for hazardous driving conditions in some areas through Tuesday morning.

According to the National Weather Service, winter driving conditions are expected “across all mountain routes” and the snow “may impact travel across valleys as well.”

In the Salt Lake City area, there’s a slight chance of rain before 11 p.m. — Monday’s forecast high is 47 — which becomes an 80% chance of snow after 11 p.m. as temperatures fall to 33 overnight. But less than an inch of snow is expected.

The snow is expected to taper off after sunrise Tuesday, with possible a 50% chance of additional accumulations of less than an inch. Temperatures will reach about 40 on Tuesday and 42 on Wednesday, with overnight lows in the 20s.

The forecast calls for even less snow in Ogden, Logan and Tooele — a total of an inch or less. Both Provo and Park City could see 2-5 inches.

The next chance for accumulating snow in northern Utah will come Thursday, but that one is expected to hit “mainly the mountains,” according to the NWS.

The storms will miss southern Utah altogether. Sunny skies are expected in the St. George area through the end of the week, with highs in the mid- to upper 50s and lows in the 30s.
