The winter-like storm that brought rain and snow to Utah on Tuesday night and Wednesday is expected to continue through Thursday morning.
According to the National Weather Service, cold air moving across the Great Salt Lake — which is relatively warm — means there’s potential for lake-effect snow in parts of Salt lake County and eastern Tooele County. Some areas may see accumulations of 1-5 inches; in other areas, it could be even more.
And the areas with heavy snowfall could experience tree damage and power outages.
Heavy snow is expected to continue in the mountains — 6-14 inches in northern Utah; 4-12 inches in southern Utah. Mountain valleys can expect 3-8 inches.
The weather will remain “cool and unsettled” across the mountains and western valley through Friday evening, according to the NWS, with “somewhat drier” conditions expected this weekend — although lingering showers are possible in far northern Utah.
Temperatures in the mid-40s are expected in Salt Lake City on Wednesday and in the mid- to upper-40s on Thursday and Friday. Saturday will be partly cloudy and in the mid-50s. A high near 60 and possibly more rain is expected on Sunday.
