The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning that extends until 5 p.m. Thursday in northern Utah mountains, including the Wasatch and western Uintas, Bear Lake, and surrounding areas of southcentral Idaho as well as parts eastward into Wyoming’s Green River drainage area near Salt Lake City (including Provo). The predicted precipitation will be mostly rain at lower elevations but may also bring some light snow accumulations above 4500 feet with winds up to 40 mph expected later tonight through Friday morning making travel dangerous if you’re not used to these conditions!
Icy roads are expected to cause major problems in the mountains and Bear River Valley, with 1-2 feet of snowfall at higher elevations down from photographer’s fields near bucking broncos football game tonight – where there will likely be a lot more than just December weather update!. Winds gusting 60 mph could leave you unable to even see your car when driving on I80 during these conditions!
The warning includes the cities of Alta, Brighton, and Woodruff. It also affects areas around Logan Summit including Mantua as well as Randolph Garden City(*)Randolph is a town located north-northeast of Green Bay on US 41 near Wisconsin Rapids adding Mirror Lake Highway to this list makes sense due to it being so close but what about all these other towns?

A blizzard warning has been issued for the Wasatch Mountains, meaning wintery conditions are expected to make travel near impossible. The ski resorts in this area were closed earlier today as a precautionary measure on the top of other drastic Utah weather measures such as avalanche warnings that have already gone into effect due to recent snowfall and high winds bringing up dangerous powder piles across multiple areas including Bear River Range mountains west extending throughout Uintas region’s western slopes right down through Salt Lake City valley floor where heavy accumulating flurry like clouds obscure visibility during sunset hours making evening apparition rather frightening.
Utah Avalanche Center is warning that the potential for avalanches at lower elevations will create dangerous conditions. The center also cautions hikers and skiers to stay away from slopes steeper than 30 degrees when heavy snow arrives in addition to strong winds as well as rain on top of it all are expected this week.
Avalanche danger can increase during periods of low humidity (which may last days or even weeks) accompanied by warm temperatures followed immediately by cold fronts capable of dropping local amounts down into near-freezing levels overnight— Conditions like these make hiking over the steep ground an extremely risky activity without proper avalanche gear such as transceivers.
The warning does not apply to ski areas that have taken avalanche reduction measures. There’s a 90% chance of snow changing to rain in Salt Lake City on Wednesday, and 50 percent for Thursday’s forecast when it is partly cloudy skies expected with unseasonably warm temperatures at 43 degrees Fahrenheit (or 4 Celsius).
