Every little bit helps given Utah’s drought and the state’s snow water equivalent increased by half an inch over the weekend. Snowpack now sits at 75% when compared to the historical median.

High pressure will bring a warming trend to Utah through Tuesday. Highs will be near seasonal normals, warming to up to 10°F above normal by Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City.
