A series of light to moderate storms will bring fresh snow to the mountains through midweek, with a brief lull in activity late in the weekend before a stronger round of colder air and heavier snowfall arrives early next week. Expect initially modest accumulations from Friday into the weekend, followed by a more robust system Monday night through Wednesday. Snow levels will fluctuate early next week, but colder air behind the frontal passage should ensure decent mountain snowfall. Beyond midweek, drier high pressure may build, yet the longer-range pattern remains supportive of below-normal temperatures and additional chances for mountain snow.
Lingering snow hangs on through Friday morning across the northern mountains and areas southeast of the Great Salt Lake, with lake-enhanced bands potentially delivering quick bursts of fluff in favored locales. Activity tapers off by afternoon, providing a short break before a weaker wave arrives Saturday. Though this Saturday system doesnโt appear overly potent, it should still put down modest accumulations across the higher terrain, with SLRs around 12โ16:1 yielding reasonably good-quality snow for those heading out.
Sunday looks mostly dry with only minimal morning flurries persisting in far northern zones. Temperatures will nudge upward, limiting precipitation to very light snow showers at the highest elevations. By Monday, gusty southwesterly winds will intensify ahead of the next system, which will initially bring higher snow levels and some rain to lower valleys. By Monday night, colder air pushes in, transitioning precipitation back to all snow in the mountains and eventually mixing with or changing to snow in most valleys by Tuesday.
Tuesday into early Wednesday features a more impressive burst of moderate to heavy snowfall as a strong cold front sweeps through, dropping snow levels and delivering accumulations in the 4โ8 inch range across many mountain areas, with some spots potentially hitting higher-end totals of 15โ20 inches where orographic and northwest flow enhancements align. Snow ratios will likely climb into the 14โ16:1 range by Tuesday night, supporting lighter, drier powder. A gradual lull sets in midweek as high pressure builds, but the broader pattern over the next week or two continues to favor below-normal temperatures and periodic storminess for the region, especially if additional troughing returns from the west.
