It started snowing in Utah on Tuesday — but only in higher elevations

According to a tweet from the National Weather Service, showers brought some “light snow” to some areas above 10,000 feet, including Bald Mountain Pass in the Uinta Mountains.

And that probably won’t be the end of it. The NWS is forecasting a rain storm and much lower temperatures Tuesday evening through Wednesday, and while “precipitation at the higher elevations will, for the most part, remain as rain … temperatures at the highest elevations may be just cold enough to bring a few inches of snow to the highest peaks on Wednesday.”

In lower elevations — in the Salt Lake area — scattered showers and thunderstorms on Tuesday afternoon will increase in the evening, turning into steady rain through Wednesday.
