Replying to Will snow ever come?
Here's an excerpt from a NWS report this morning:
"The two features will continue south today...with the surface
front exiting the state this afternoon and the baroclinic zone
making it to the Utah/Arizona border overnight. This will result
in some of the coldest temperatures so far this year across the
state. Mins below freezing are expected everywhere but far
southern Utah. In addition...the associated upper level storm
system should graze northern Utah late this afternoon and this
evening...making the airmass unstable enough to support some snow
showers...primarily in the higher terrain...as the southern half
of the state remains dry.
Temperatures will be slow to rebound this week with dry
northwesterly flow aloft. A Pacific storm system is expected to
dig south on Thursday...bringing a weak shortwave over the
southern half of the state Thursday night...but it does not seem
to have much moisture to work with until it moves east of the
state. The main system is forecast to move through Arizona on
Saturday...bringing another weak shortwave into Utah during that
time that runs into the same moisture problems as the other one. "
Summary: snow forecast is dismal because of lack of moisture
