Cold and Calm

 TL;DR:

Colder temperatures and overcast conditions today. Chance for a small amount of precipitation by tomorrow night and a longer dry period throughout the week.

Nowcast:

Taking a look at the Deer Valley weather station data, we can see temperatures below freezing in the Wasatch Back, with some pretty significant wind chill effect at upper-level locations, bringing the temperatures down an additional 10°C.

Short term:

Fairweather is going to be the name of the game for the next little bit. Resort employees are working to open more terrain as the new snow settles in. A subtle shortwave trough could bring some light precipitation to Northern Utah by Monday Night.

Long term:

As of now, models are showing a cutoff low forming in south-central Utah and Northern Arizona by Wednesday midday. I don't expect any large precipitation events in the next week, but large-scale subsidence to our North should bring in some cooler temperatures through mid-week. As always, check back in for the latest forecast for the latest update here at Utah Ski Weather.
