A spring storm from the Gulf of Alaska is on its way to Utah.
A cold front is due to arrive in northwest Utah early Monday morning, then move south throughout the day, according to the National Weather Service.
"Scattered showers along the cold front will turn into widespread mountain snow with rain [and/or] snow in the valleys behind the front," the weather service advised. The northern mountains — the Wasatch Range in particular — are likely to see several inches of snow.
Temperatures will dip with the storm as well. Salt Lake City is expected to see a high of 68 on Sunday, but only 58 on Monday. St. George, meanwhile, will see a high of 79 on Sunday, followed by 75 on Monday.
Mind that the back country is at risk for avalanches. The Skyline and Logan-area mountains are at considerable risk for slides Sunday, while the rest of the state's mountains are at moderate risk, according to the Utah Avalanche Center.
