SALT LAKE CITY — After northern Utah was hit by snow and powerful winds over the weekend, smaller storms are expected to roll through and bring a bit more snow to some regions of the state.

Monday morning, the storm will taper off with one last wave of snow. The snow will stay mostly in the mountains North of I-80 and valley areas North of I-84.
Due to the snow, the Elko County School district in eastern Nevada implemented a two-hour delay for all schools in Elko, Carlin and Spring Creek. School districts in Utah did not call for a delayed start or snow day.
The weather also caused issues at the Salt Lake City International Airport Monday, with 16 delays reported as of 7:45 a.m.
Snowy conditions will be most widespread during the morning, with up to two inches possible in the valleys and between two and four inches in the mountains.
The main concern is freezing cold temperatures, which will make it cold enough for falling snow to stick immediately to the roads. Experts warned that drivers should exercise extreme caution and schedule extra time into their morning commutes.
As of 8:43 a.m., Utah Highway Patrol reported 30 crashes on Utah roads.
The final push of snow will wrap up a weekend of wintery weather across the state and Utah will get a little break from stormy conditions for a couple of days.

Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories are still in place until 5 a.m. Monday for some parts of central Utah, as well as the Uinta Mountains.
The National Weather Service says there should be some additional snow Sunday night into Monday morning across northern Utah, but very little accumulation in the valleys.
A winter storm will continue to bring periods of snow to the mountains as well as southwest Wyoming and many northern and west central Utah valleys, resulting in difficult travel. Here's what you can expect through Monday. #utwx #wywx pic.twitter.com/xtTocWBPtN
