Weather warnings and advisories
A hazardous weather outlook is in place for the areas of Utah’s Dixie, Zion National Park, Glen Canyon Recreation Area, Lake Powell and Southern Utah mountains.
Precipitation across the north (snow above 6,500 feet) will remain fairly widespread Saturday morning before tapering midday and afternoon. Temperatures will remain roughly 15 degrees below normal.
Another cool storm system will arrive Sunday into Monday, with yet another affecting the outlook area Tuesday on through the remainder of the work week. Snow levels as low as 6,500 feet Monday will gradually climb towards 8,000 feet through the week allowing modest accumulations over the higher mountain peaks, while further delaying high elevation snowmelt and associated run- off. Additional impacts from snowfall are expected to remain negligible however.
