After a short reprieve from snow, another storm is on its way to Utah.
This winter — defined by meteorologists as December through February — broke the record for Salt Lake City's warmest winter on record since 1874, according to the National Weather Service. And yet it seems the chilly, snowy season has finally arrived for much of Utah.
A wintry storm is expected to continue moving across the state, bringing snowfall to elevations above 5,500 feet, before tapering off Sunday morning. As of Saturday evening, the storm has already left more than a foot of snow in Cedar City, 4 inches in Boulder and 2.5 inches in Sandy.
Another round of snow is expected to arrive Sunday night and last into Tuesday, with snowfall reaching as low as 4,000 feet, the weather service reports.
Roadways, including U.S. 6 through Soldier Summit, could see winter driving conditions.
Temperatures are expected to drop from Sunday into Monday, with a high of 47 for Salt Lake City on Sunday, then 42 on Monday. St. George, meanwhile, will see highs of 55 and 48, respectively.
Moab's mountains in southeastern Utah are at considerable risk for slides, according to the Utah Avalanche Center. Eastern Utah's Uintas are at a moderate risk, while the rest of the state's ranges are at a low risk.
The air should remain clear statewide Sunday and into Monday, according to the Utah Division of Air Quality.
