Snow tonight and Tuesday, long-term looks dry

TL;DR:

Light snow today through tomorrow morning will bring northern Utah mountains 4-8" of new snow, with potential for higher totals in LCC and the far northern mountains (Bear River Range). Tuesday brings another chance for snow, after which we will likely remain dry.

Nowcast:

We're seeing partly- to mostly-cloudy conditions alongside relatively warm temperatures and noticeable wind this morning; for today, expect more of the same along with light valley rain/mountain snow.

Short-term:

As mentioned, we'll see light and somewhat intermittent mountain snow from late morning/early afternoon today through tomorrow morning, with a more intense period of snowfall right around when lifts start spinning tomorrow; this is ideal for snow quality since it lines up with a period of colder (15-20 °F) high-elevation temps. Amounts are looking decent - I'm seeing 4-8" for most mountains, with LCC and the far northern mountains (think Bear River Range) doing slightly better than that. I'm also seeing fairly gusty winds throughout this period, so wear those layers!

Long-term:

I'd recommend getting your powder skiing in tomorrow; we're scheduled for another light dose of snow come Tuesday, but after that, things look pretty dry. Keep doing those snow dances...

Thanks for reading Utah Ski Weather!
