March is still roaring like a lion!
Strong south winds will develop ahead of an approaching storm today. Winds could gust up to 45-55 mph across much of Western Utah, including the Salt Lake Valley.
Since the winds are out of the south, it'll be warm enough for rain in the valleys with snow expected above 8,000 feet. Rain and snow will become widespread across the area this afternoon and evening and could become heavy at times.
Wet weather will continue tomorrow. A cold front will likely knock snow levels down to the valley floors across Northern & Central Utah on Wednesday afternoon, but with minimal accumulation.
We'll get a break from the storms on Thursday & Friday.
