The flurries are now expected to stop while temperatures plummet, according to the National Weather Service.
The weather service reports today’s high in Salt Lake City is expected to 15 degrees with a low of 2 degrees.
Sunday’s high is anticipated to be 24 degrees with a low of 9 degrees.
While the temperatures are slightly below normal, they are not record breaking, said Eric Schoening, meteorologist with the national weather service.
Schoening said an inversion will move into the Salt Lake Valley over the weekend.
Avalanche conditions continue to be a danger in the backcountry.
The Utah Avalanche Center released an advisory for the Salt Lake area mountains stating the danger for human- and natural-triggered avalanches is considerable.
“Today and tomorrow are classic avalanche accident conditions,” the advisory states.
