SALT LAKE CITY — After several spring-like days, gusty winds will usher in rain to most valleys and snow to the mountains all across Utah.
The strong, southwesterly winds have been in the 25 to 40 mph hour range between Salt Lake City and Logan. Gusts from 40 to 55 mph have been recorded in the west desert.
Gusty winds will precede a cold front moving through Saturday evening bringing mountain snow and valley rain (w/embedded thunder). There is a 60% chance valleys change over to snow overnight, but any accumulations will likely be <2". #utwx #wywx pic.twitter.com/8KzweBV3Bj

There is a winter weather advisory in effect for the main chain of mountains from north to south across the state.
The Cottonwood Canyons could see 15” to 20” of snow and Brian Head in southern Utah could pick up 16 inches.

The day started with sunny slopes under ominous clouds and ended with a couple inches of fresh snow—and the storm is just getting started.
