A winter weather advisory from the National Weather Service warned of slippery, snowy road conditions in major mountain passes along the Wasatch Front on Friday.
The valley rain — heaviest north of Salt Lake City — was causing delays for morning commuters, and there were multiple crashes on and near highways.
The Utah Department of Transportation warned that the brunt of the precipitation arrived in the Salt Lake Valley about 7 a.m. and would continue to spread south, hitting Beaver about 3 p.m.
Bench routes in the Salt Lake area were expected to have slush on the road, and strong winds were expected in the late morning and nearly afternoon across the northern part of the state.
