Freezing Rain Locations

An incoming system brings concerns for freezing rain across portions of the Great Salt Lake Desert this morning, given residual cold air over the area. Any accumulations could lead to dangerous travel conditions. Gradual warming will eliminate this threat by late morning. Accumulating mountain snow this morning into early Friday will bring travel impacts to high elevation routes across northern Utah, with the main period of concern being this evening into early Friday morning as higher snowfall rates develop.
