The National Weather Service in Salt Lake City has issued this advisory, effective immediately as of 9:59 PM MDT on October 12.

Snow is expected, particularly at elevations above 8,500 feet. Total snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches are anticipated in upper Little and Big Cottonwood Canyons, with higher amounts possible above 9,000 feet. Guardsman Pass is expected to see higher snowfall potential.
