Wet, stormy weather will move across most of Utah on Tuesday and Wednesday, cooling temperatures and increasing avalanche danger.
On Tuesday, mountain snow will accumulate in areas of about 8,000 feet and higher, and valleys will see rain, according to the National Weather Service. Roads may become slippery as temperatures cool.
On Wednesday, snow levels will drop to valley floors in northern Utah, the NWS says, and showers will taper off by the evening hours. Travel impacts will likely be limited to mountain routes.
The NWS issued a backcountry avalanche watch across the Wasatch Front through Wednesday morning, warning that additional snow and wind will increase danger of avalanches significantly.
