Heavy Snow in La Sal & Abajo Mountains, Utah

Heavy Snow March 31, 2026 · La Sal & Abajo Mountains, Utah

What the National Weather Service wrote

Generally 12 to 15 inches of snow fell across the La Sal Mountains.

The wider storm

Well above normal moisture moved into the Four Corners from the southwest due to remnant Atmospheric River moisture ahead of a strong closed low pressure system and cold front that brought mountain snow above 9000 feet and valley rain. Temperatures were very warm ahead of this system and fell to below normal levels afterwards with abundant moisture resulting in heavy, wet snow favoring the central and southern mountains with the heaviest accumulations above a foot at the higher elevations where the winds were also the strongest.
