More Snow on the Way: Winter Weather Advisory Issued for Southern Utah's Mountains A winter weather advisory has been issued by the National Weather Service for the southern Utah mountains, warning of significant snowfall and hazardous travel conditions. The advisory is in effect from 10 pm tonight until 6 am Friday. According to forecasters, a strong cold front will move into the region tonight, bringing with it heavy snowfall and gusty winds. Snowfall totals are expected to range from 8-12 inches in the mountains, with localized amounts of up to 18 inches possible. The advisory area includes the higher elevations of Washington County, including the Pine Valley Mountains, the Markagunt Plateau, and the Red Mountains. Lower-elevation areas such as St. George and Ivins are not expected to receive significant snowfall, but may still experience some light accumulation. Travelers planning to venture into the affected areas should be prepared for hazardous conditions, including reduced visibility and slippery roads. Residents living in the mountains are advised to stock up on supplies and consider alternative travel plans if possible. The winter weather advisory is the latest in a series of significant snowfall events to affect Southern Utah this season. Just last week, a powerful storm dumped 6-10 inches of snow on the region's higher elevations, causing widespread disruptions and power outages.
