SUMMARY FOR THE NEXT 6 DAYS -//> UPDATED FOR SATURDAY, MARCH 20th at 6:21am...Today through Monday -> BREAK BETWEEN STORMS/ PARTLY CLOUDY; Low pressure moves eastward and out today, with mostly sunny skies and cool temperatures expected. Milder but still cool on Sunday, as high pressure builds in some (not as strong and spring-like as it was in recent days). Monday is a transition day, with shifting winds due to an approaching low pressure system out of the Northwest US. Partly cloudy skies are expected.
Tuesday and Wednesday -> THE NEXT STORM MOVES IN/ SNOW; Snow develops on Tuesday as another low pressure system moves in out of the northwest. We will have to watch the projected path of this system for trends. Moderate snowfall is likely, and heavier snow is less likely but still possible.

Long range forecast / discussion...March 24 to 27--There is a break in weather/ snow possible after next Tuesday/ Wednesday's storm, then another shot at snow possible for the last weekend in March (27th/ 28th). Pacific storms (with snow) should move through with good frequency right into April. The rest of April still looks potentially snowy (what we mean by "snowy" - at least 1 day with snow for every 2 sunny/ no snow days).
--WINTER OUTLOOK (from early November); This winter we expect near to below average snowfall for northern Utah including Alta. For southern Utah including Brian Head, we expect above average snowfall. Most of the heavier snowfall does not arrive until after the 1st of January, but we do expect some significant storms this month and also in December. Temperatures are expected to be colder than average across northern Utah and near average for southern Utah, with wide variations and some extreme cold periods. CM
