Road Weather Alert


RWA
Statewide Spring Mountain Snowstorm
 
 

Forecast Period: Now through 6 PM Monday
Text Updated: 6:00 PM Sunday, May 5th, 2024


Rain/snow showers have decreased across the Wasatch Front early this evening. However, there will be more rounds of showers overnight, but not expecting anything widespread or heavy like what we saw early today with roads expected to remain wet. The canyon and mountain routes across Northern Utah will cool off into the mid to upper 20s tonight which will allow even lighter snow to accumulate in certain locations. Most concerns will be over the upper Cottonwood Canyons and higher summits like Logan Summit where a few inches of additional road snow will be possible. Parleys Summit as well as the Park City area can expect to see some minor road slush overnight, likely under 1". Valley rain/snow showers and mountain snow showers continue at times through Monday as well, tapering off and ending by the late afternoon. Valley routes continue to see wet roads while mountain/canyon routes are expected to see some road snow through mid/late Monday morning before running wet. 

Central/Southern Utah will continue to see valley rain/snow and mountain snow this evening. Showers are then expected to taper off after midnight tonight with all dry weather expected by Monday morning. Expect accumulating road snow to continue over the higher summit routes this evening.
