Wild weather will continue to impact weather through the rest of the week as a low pressure system slides south into Arizona.
This will mean, and some big rain and snow totals in southern Utah. Here's the details of what, when and where you can expect this intense weather.East winds will begin to increase tomorrow and will continue through Friday. When winds come from the east, they have to move up and over the Wasatch Mountains. As they descend the other side of the mountain, they pick up speed which produces very strong winds. These strong east winds are most likely to affect areas north of I-80.
This east wind event will produce sustained winds of 20-30 mph with gusts around 70 mph from mid-morning Thursday through Friday morning. Loose items may become airborne in these strong winds. It can also damage or bring down tree limbs and weaker trees. Residents who live in Cache, eastern Box Elder, Weber, Davis and northern Salt Lake Counties should secure loose items or bring them indoors today. Also, find flashlights and working batteries in case power outages occur.
This east wind event will begin by mid-morning on Thursday and will continue into Friday morning. By Friday afternoon, the strongest winds will end, but it will stay breezy into Saturday.Some areas of southern Utah may end up seeing one of the bigger storms of the weekend Friday and into Saturday. The core of this storm will settle into Arizona.
The higher valleys of southern Utah could pick up 2-4" of snow by Saturday evening, and the mountains could receive 12-24" of fresh powder. Many roads across southern Utah will be messy both Friday and Saturday. Blowing and drifting snow, as well as low visibilities, could make travel difficult at times. Travelers should give themselves extra time to get where they are going or postpone travel, especially over mountain routes. Traction devices or 4x4 may be required over some higher mountain routes.
