Utah's Sudden Snow Surprise: What to Expect

Winter Weather Advisory Issued

Utah is in for a quick snow burst on Thursday morning. The National Weather Service has issued winter weather advisories for the state's mountains and northern valleys. This comes after a year that has seen very little snow.

Snowfall Predictions

Meteorologist Hayden Mahan from the Salt Lake City office predicts:

• Northern Mountains: 6 to 12 inches
• Central and Southern Mountains: 4 to 8 inches
• Northern Valleys: 1 to 4 inches

The snow is expected to fall quickly during the morning rush hour.

Driving Concerns

This sudden snowfall could make driving tricky, especially in northern Utah. Drivers might not be ready for it, as there haven't been any big storms this year. Even a small snow shower caused accidents on I-15 recently, showing that people are not yet used to winter driving.

Break in Snowfall

After this storm, Utah is expected to have a break from snow for over a week. So, this might be the last chance to enjoy some winter fun before a warmer spell.
