Wednesday update:

A beautiful day in the high country with a dusting of snow coupled with aspens nearing their peak color.  This is the coldest airmass we have seen thus far this autumn with 700mb temps down to -3C across much of Utah.  Tonight we will drop down below freezing in mountain valleys, so PC/Heber/Ogden valleys should prepare for a hard freeze.  Snow levels have been as low as 6,500 feet this morning as a few scattered showers have traversed the region.  Expect only a few more scattered showers this afternoon before we clear out on Thursday and warm up through the weekend.   By early next week, temps should be appreciably above normal with low 80s possible in SLC and 60s in the mountains. 

High pressure still looks set to dominate the weather for the next 10 days or so, however models are hinting at a pattern shift between October 10-15.  EC has been showing this in ensembles for the past two days and the GFS ensembles are slowly climbing on board.  Still too early to know what specifically that will mean for us, but it should certainly give us a better chance of storms moving into the area.  We'll continue to watch and update accordingly...
