According to the National Weather Service, cold air moving across the Great Salt Lake — which is relatively warm — means there’s potential for lake-effect snow in parts of Salt lake County and eastern Tooele County. Some areas may see accumulations of 1-5 inches; in other areas, it could be even more.
Heavy snow is expected to continue in the mountains — 6-14 inches in northern Utah; 4-12 inches in southern Utah. Mountain valleys can expect 3-8 inches.
The weather will remain “cool and unsettled” across the mountains and western valley through Friday evening, according to the NWS, with “somewhat drier” conditions expected this weekend — although lingering showers are possible in far northern Utah.
