Weather: May snow sets Utah spring record


Rain, snow and more rain fell along the Wasatch Front on Monday morning, setting a spring snow record at the airport.

The National Weather Service in Salt Lake City changed its assessment of snow accumulation at the Salt Lake International Airport from a trace to 0.2 inches just after 9 a.m. That makes Monday the latest day in Utah recorded history when a measurable amount of snow fell at the airport. A measurable amount is anything over 0.1, said meteorologist Monica Traphagan.

The previous record was on May 18, 1977, when half an inch fell, she said.

The storm that came in Sunday evening dropped almost a half an inch of rain at the Salt Lake City International Airport overnight, with more rain expected throughout the day, according to the National Weather Service.

Rain and snow showers were expected to continue throughout the morning before changing to rain showers and isolated thunderstorms in the afternoon. Monday's high in Salt Lake City is expected to be around 55.

Snow also fell in Park City and Parley's Canyon on Monday morning, with more rain and snow expected in the afternoon.

By Monday night things are expected to clear, with only a 20 percent chance of rain in the valleys. Partly cloudy skies are expected after midnight with lows around 40.
