TL;DR:
Calm weather until Friday night, when snow is expected to hit through the weekend. Downslope wind advisory, so winds can get up to 20-30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph.
Nowcast:
From 6am today (Tuesday, January 7th) to 6am tomorrow, there is a wind advisory from the National Weather Service for the northeast Salt Lake City valley. Northeast winds (so winds blowing from the northeast) are expected to be around 20-30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph. These winds can blow around unsecured objects and could cause blowing snow that can impact visibility.
Besides the wind advisory, the weather should be pretty clear.
Short term:
Nothing much should be happening over the next 36 hours, with pretty clear skies with no precipitation. The only main concern is wind.
Long term:
Weather will remain calm over the week until Friday afternoon/evening, when a trough is expected to come through the region bringing snow over the weekend. Until we get closer, it's hard to predict how much snowfall will occur from this system.
