Back to Typical Fall

After a very cold and snowy September week, we will slowly transition back to more normal temps. Most of the snow that fell will melt.

Coldest and Strongest Yet

Another trough is approaching the region and will impact the area with winds later today and Thursday. A cold front will move through Thursday night into Friday with cold temps, valley rain showers, and mountain snow. Cool for the weekend.

More Chill on the Way

Temperatures plummeted to close out this past week, as expected, with dustings of snow in the Wasatch with a few solid inches way up high, especially in the Uintas.  We’ve seen some moderation in the temperatures and should be closer to average over the next couple days.  However, additional troughs will be dropping in out […]

The Death of Summer?

After weeks of above average temperatures, Utah will finally drop below normal as a fall-like trough moves through the area late this week into the weekend. A chance for another trough middle of next week. Cooler temperatures and chances for high elevation snow likely!

Late Spring Dump

A cold May storm is moving in Tuesday night into Wednesday.  We will see mountain snowfall develop — scattered today and steady tonight into tomorrow.  Models have decreased expected amounts.  Not showing the >12″ they were showing yesterday.  Still, we could see 6-12″ with perhaps a foot or more in a few select areas.  A […]

Seasonal Confusion Disorder

If you’ve lived in the area for awhile, you know that getting snow in the high Wasatch during the second half of may is not extraordinary.  However, getting snow down to the valley floors is very rare.  This week, we may be in line for the latter as an extremely cold arctic airmass drops into […]

Range of Possibilities

Looking like an almost certainty that next week will be cool and showery.  The only question now is just how cool and showery it will be.  This time of year, we don’t have climatology on our side and therefore I tend to have less confidence in storms delivering what models project.  However, it’s important to […]

Spring Surprise?

Been almost two weeks since the last update.  Been taking a break from weather to focus on getting my home ready for summer.  Also, the weather has been relatively benign since the end of April storm cycle.  However, things are changing and a cold trough is likely to develop as we head into next week. […]

Deep Spring Day

Snow showers, heavy at times, continued overnight.  It is raining hard right now on the SLC valley east bench, actually mixing with snow.  That means that fairly low density snow is falling up at Snowbird.  There were heavy bouts of precip over the past 24 hours that have dropped an impressive 1.69″ of liquid so […]

An Active Week Ahead

Today, Sunday, we will see an increase in clouds and chances for high elevation snow showers by the afternoon as a very weak wave pushes into Northern Utah.  A strong wave arrives on Monday afternoon into Monday night.  This wave has potential to bring 6-12″ of snow to the Cottonwoods by midday Tuesday. Right now […]
