Light snowfall today and Sunday, potentially active next week

TL;DR:

 Expect light snowfall today and Sunday. Next week is worth keeping an eye on...

Nowcast:

 It's cloudy and snowing lightly in the mountains right now; we can see this from Snowbird's Little Cloud Bowl webcam:

 Expect the snow showers to continue throughout the day, with somewhat gusty winds and summit high temps around 20 °F.

Short-term:

 In terms of snowfall, we'll see more flakes fall on Sunday; this shouldn't be a blockbuster storm by any means, but should provide some soft turns. Otherwise, we'll see seasonal to above-seasonal temps, light winds, and partly to mostly cloudy skies.

Long-term:

 I like the look of the model plumes for the next seven days:

 You can see the snow today, as well as the weak wave of moisture on Sunday. Then things get interesting around Tuesday of next week and the model plumes just sort of take off, suggesting an active workweek... It's definitely worth watching!

Backcountry comments:

 Have fun skiing the resorts this weekend, or if you plan to travel in the backcountry, make sure you have the proper equipment and know before you go. For the avalanche forecast and many other avy-related resources, head over to our friends at the Utah Avalanche Center.
