The National Weather Service is predicting winter driving conditions with another storm hitting the Wasatch Back Tuesday afternoon into Thursday.

The National Weather Service said Utah's northern mountains will see more snow this week.

Areas with an elevation of 7,500 feet to 8,500 feet will see snow starting Tuesday afternoon with levels dropping to 4,000 feet or 5,000 feet by late Wednesday, early Thursday.

The valley rain and mountain snow should move out Thursday morning, according to the NWS.

The Utah Department of Transportation is warning drivers to plan ahead for heavy snow impacts on Utah's mountain routes. At lower elevations, rain could freeze overnight and lead to icy conditions.
