Now, 330pm ish on Saturday, we're looking at valley temperatures in the high 30s, BCC mid 20s, and LCC/Park City cooler just below 20.
Ridgetop winds are from the SW, 14-20 mph. I circled the ridge-stations, canyon sites are doing the usual up/down blowing:

Long term:
Things are going to be dumping through Sunday and into Monday, wrapping up Monday night when an arctic air mass breaks into the region (you're welcome).
Backcountry comments:
The rose is red and scary because things are active and sliding. The UAC says it best:

Large amounts of recent storm snow are sensitive to human triggers and widespread through all aspects and elevations, especially in lower-elevation and tree'd areas.
If you will be traveling in the backcountry make sure you have the proper equipment and know before you go. For the whole avalanche forecast and all things avalanche head over to our friends at the Utah Avalanche Center here: Utah Avalanche Center
