Light snowfall ushered in the Wednesday morning commute for southern Utahns. While only a trace of the white stuff was expected in the region's valleys, some mountain locales looked for up to 4 inches. Mountains above 7,000 feet elevation in central Utah also were to receive a snowy dusting by late Wednesday afternoon.
Northern Utah initially escaped the valley snowfall, though the region was expected to see rain and later snow by Thursday afternoon and evening.
On Wednesday, the Wasatch Front's forecast called for cloudy skies and high temperatures in the mid-40s. The mercury was to dip a few degrees on Thursday, with overnight lows in the mid-20s.
After Wednesday's rain and high-elevation snowfall, southern Utahns looked for party cloudy skies with Thursday's daytime highs in the low-50s — the same temperature range as the day prior.
Overnight lows in Utah's Dixie will be in the upper-20s to low-30s.
The Utah Division of Air Quality graded the entire state as "green," or healthy through Friday.
The Utah Avalanche Center rated the risk for potentially deadly mountain snowslides beginning Wednesday as "moderate" for all monitoring areas.
