One more mild day before it gets stormy! Temps will continue to climb well above average and several degrees higher than yesterday along the Wasatch Front. With inversions still in place, valley haze will linger today with moderate air quality expected in many northern valleys.
Winds increase tonight & tomorrow ahead of an approaching cold front. The strongest winds will be in SW Wyoming and over the higher elevations of Northern Utah from late Wednesday morning through the afternoon, and then decrease in the evening behind the front.
An atmospheric river will clip the north and bring periods of valley rain & mountain snow on Wednesday and then again with another system on Friday night / Saturday. These are not going to be cold storms. Snow levels will start out near 8,000 feet and then only drop near 6,000 feet toward the tail end of the storms as precipitation tapers off. Valley snow is very unlikely, even though snow could mix with rain in some of the heavier showers.
Only 1-3 inches of snow is expected in the mountains on Wednesday., although there could be 3-6 inches in the upper Cottonwoods and High Uintas.
