“Total snow accumulation across the northern mountains will range from 6 to 12 inches with locally higher amounts in the Ogden area mountains and Bear River mountains,” the NWS said.
Meteorologists expect the storm to start Saturday afternoon and continue until Sunday afternoon, then begin to diminish Sunday evening. The NWS said the storm brings only a minor weather risk, but accumulated snow could still cause travel impacts.
Experts at NWS recommend people to slow down and allow more time to reach destinations, be prepared for traction restrictions, carry a winter survival kit in their vehicle and check road conditions before driving.
