Bit of a break from snow

 TL;DR:

After several days of snow, we're going to have a quiet period for the weekend and early next week before more snow is scheduled to return to the valley.

Nowcast:

High in the upper 30s, low in the lower 20s. Not much going on, but at least air quality is pretty good after all the snow drove out the bad air. 

Short term:


Snow in Northern Utah Wednesday night/Thursday morning from https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/


Expect sunny conditions over the next several days leading up into Valentine's Day. Temperatures should be around the mid 40s for highs and low 30s for lows. Good time to have a picnic, if you can find a park without any snow on it. However, make sure that picnic is finished by late evening on Wednesday, as more snow is expected to arrive.


Long term:

Precipitation and Rain models for the U. https://weather.utah.edu/

As the trough hits on Wednesday/Thursday, some snow or rain could happen in the valley. It's too early to see what the snow line will be here in the valley, but hopefully the mountains will get some more snow. Based on all the different models showing different values, it's hard to say with any certainty. We'll make sure to keep you updated.
