Stormy conditions continue through Utah, with rain in the valleys and snow in the mountains to kick off a week of wintery weather.

Utah’s valleys will only see rain on Monday into Tuesday, but it could make for some tricky driving conditions, so be prepared for wet roads.

Ahead of the storm, areas of western Utah, including the Tooele Valley, Rush Valley and southern Cedar City will likely see strong gusts of wind up to 50 miles per hour. The wind will diminish as the storm moves into Utah in the afternoon.

NWS reports strong crosswinds are possible on portions of Interstate 80, US-6 and I-15 near Cedar City. High profile vehicles, boats and RVs should be prepared for especially tough travel conditions.

Monday’s storm is only a preview of what’s to come, with even stronger winter weather making its way through Utah on Tuesday and Wednesday.
