Two cold fronts may bring up to two feet of snow in Utah Mountains, meteorologists say, with precipitation also expected for the Wasatch Front.

Turkey travel plans? Weekend snow is a “good reminder” for winter precautions, like carrying a blanket, extra food, water and a shovel while traveling, Salt Lake meteorologists say.

The cold system began Friday evening, tracking through northern and central Utah before moving through the Wasatch Front, according to Alex DeSmet, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Salt Lake City office. Most precipitation is expected to fall on Saturday night and last until Sunday morning.

The second storm system, arriving late Tuesday, will hit all Utah mountains, DeSmet said, with a focus on the central and southern parts of the state. As of Friday evening forecast, there is an 85% chance of rain on Tuesday, with Wednesday slated for a 50/50 chance of a rain and snow mix.
