A couple more drizzly days are ahead for Utahns this week, but Thursday promises some relief from the rain.

While the worst of Tropical Storm Rachel has moved on, its remnants mixed with a massive new weather system that stretches over Utah — from eastern California into western Colorado, said Sam Webber, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Salt Lake City office.

That system will keep Utah’s temperatures in the low-to-high 50s over the next two days, and in the Salt Lake Valley, it is expected to bring about an inch of rain.

Flooding remains a possibility for northern Utah, but southern portions of the state are most at risk, Webber said.

The combination of moisture and cold air from the low-pressure system also means high-elevation snow is in the forecast.

Meteorologists caught the first glimpses Monday, tracking snowfall at Solitude, Brighton, Snowbird and Alta ski areas in the upper Cottonwood canyons.

The Central Wasatch Mountains could accumulate between 4 to 8 inches of snow, and the higher points along the Little Cottonwood Ridgeline could see 8 to 15 inches.

By Wednesday, the rain will begin to taper off, ushering in drier conditions on Thursday through the weekend.

At that point, temperatures will warm slightly, with highs hovering around the 60s.
