Lake Effect Very Likely Tonight

 Conditions are excellent for a lake effect event tonight and early tomorrow: cold air, relatively warm lake water temps, decent moisture and instability.  It’s the weather nerd in me that is fascinated to see how this develops tonight.  The lake effect band may start close enough to the Cottonwoods to drop more snow up the canyons, however, I’m thinking it may migrate away from the Cottonwoods and closer to the Oquirrhs by later tonight.  It will be interesting to see how this lake effect band develops. If we can get it just right, we could see decent accumulations.

Rain then Snow for the Wasatch Front

Rain and snow will develop over the north Wednesday and gradually spread south though out the day. It should be a Rainy night in Salt Lake City.

 It will turn much colder Thursday morning with the snow level lowering to the valley floors with
accumulations possible.
