and last updated

Get ready for some active weather this week!

Strong south winds have developed ahead of a significant storm that will bring cold, wet weather for much of the week. It'll be windy all across the area today, but the strongest gusts will be across Western & Northern Utah and SW Wyoming. Be prepared for blowing dust, strong cross-winds on east-west routes like I-80, and downed tree limbs.

A strong cold front will cross the area tonight and tomorrow, bringing widespread valley rain and heavy mountain snow. By Wednesday, a mix of rain & snow is likely in the valleys and it could change over entirely to snow by Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

Rain & snow will end by late Thursday. It'll get a lot colder by the end of the week and start to feel like winter!
