Utah Daily Snow

My son goes by the nickname "lil dumper" because of Cal. Two seconds before this HR, he said, "Cal's going to hit a home run," then.... BOOM! It was a cool moment.

It is currently raining in LCC up to 10,000 feet with temps in the mid-to-upper 30s up there. However, colder air will gradually filter in tonight and tomorrow with snow levels dropping below 8000 feet. Heaviest snow tomorrow morning into afternoon.

Another decent late-spring storm is moving in this weekend. Sunday looks to be the most likely day for "powder" and there's a chance amounts could be in the significant-for-this-time-of-year range.

This is the next 7 days… Models are generating quite a bit of precip for Northern Utah. Very beneficial. Also, highly likely we see some decent snowfall accumulation in the highest elevations.

A storm brings more showers (and high elevation snow showers) Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday. We have the potential for a stronger storm system this weekend into early next week. Could we get one (or two) more "powder" days?

A cooler-than-average pattern will prevail for the next week or more throughout most of the western US. This will include chances for high elevation snow in Utah midweek and again next weekend.

Another cool late-spring storm will bring the threat of mountain snowfall to northern Utah late Tuesday into Wednesday of next week. Another chance for freshies?

Alta-Collins has 8” of snow from 1.00” of SWE. Definitely dense, but it is May. We will take it.

So it is snowing, but it was 35°F at 9600’ at 4pm. What’s falling is, as expected, thick and creamy. Slightly cooler air will filter in, but only slightly.

We have a decent storm that will bring precip to the state Sunday thru Tuesday. Our struggle, from a snow perspective, is getting cold enough air into the region for this storm. We are probably looking at only very high elevation snow that will be very dense where it does fall.

Another weak storm will bring some precip to Utah tomorrow. Amounts are fairly meager, and temps aren't particularly cold, but we could manage an inch or two of fresh snow in the high elevations.

A weakening cutoff low will track across Utah, bringing the threat of high-elevation snow showers later today through Monday. Accumulations look to be on the light side (1-3"), but we could see pockets of higher. Additional chances for snow Wednesday and again next weekend.

A cutoff low spins its way into Utah by Sunday afternoon with cooler temps and snow continuing into Monday. This time of year, storms are always a wildcard, but perhaps we can get some real powder out of this... *fingers crossed*

We had a quick convective storm roll through with snow/graupel in the central Wasatch. Scattered showers and high elevation snow will be possible through the afternoon. Can’t rule out a quick coating of snow from these storms.

Final Post of the Season is now up!

We still have chances for snow, especially next Monday, so I will update here and the "Forecast" section of my end-of-season post. But... You can read the post-season analysis now if you so choose.

Storm totals of 5-10" with 12-14" in the Cottonwoods. Snow showers continue today with 1-3" of additional accumulation, perhaps higher if we get some good banding or orographic snow showers. Not bad for the second half of April.

2" of snow from 0.23" SWE at Alta-Collins as of 8am. Snowing hard and temperatures are starting to fall as the front moves through. Looks like generally 1-3" so far across northern Utah mountains. 4-8" likely by noon when the front sags south. Snow showers return tonight/Fri AM.

Weak "storm" tonight with a stronger system possible for later in the week. Some indications of an unsettled second half of April. I could really use one more powder day...

Warm temperatures until Saturday night and Sunday when a weak storm brings cooler air and the threat of light precip to northern Utah. Otherwise, no real shots at appreciable snow over the next 10 days or more.

Next ten days per the GFS and Euro… mostly dry with the majority of action to our north and west.

I've seen a lot of downward graphs lately. Our snowpack is about to follow suit. This is likely the peak. The spring melt-off resumes as high pressure takes control for the next week or more.

Almost stationary snow showers over parts of the central Wasatch. Snowing very hard in LCC right now! Who’s up there?

Happy 500” to those who celebrate 🎉

8am: Alta-Collins with 13” of snow from 1.00” of SWE. Absolutely hammering! Today is gonna be DEEP.

Sweet dreams. May the night bring us plentiful bounty.

Graupel now. Fluff and stuff arrives this evening and continues through tomorrow. Promising storm to start April!

womp womp woooomp

The minimum temp at Alta-Collins was 37F 👀

This heatwave is remarkably similar to late March of 2022. On March 25-27, 2022, we saw high temps of 78, 79, and 79 respectively at SLC. This year, looks like very similar, maybe even slightly higher numbers.
