Snow expected in Utah valleys and mountains

SALT LAKE CITY — According to forecasters, several parts of Utah will receive snow Thursday morning and evening.

On Wednesday, the Utah Department of Transportation issued a road weather alert, warning drivers of slick roads caused by a storm that will arrive in two different waves.

UDOT said the first wave should arrive along the Wasatch Front after 8 to 9 a.m. and will move southward across the state until around noon. By 10 to 11 a.m., most roads are expected to be wet.

“This wave of snow only lasts for a few hours before dissipating around noon or shortly after for many routes,” UDOT stated on its weather alert.

Road Weather Alert: Two rounds of snow expected on Thursday. The 1st comes 8/9am thru noon & the 2nd 4/5pm thru midnight. Both of which bring minor valley road snow & a few inches to the mtns.

UDOT said an inch or two of snow could be seen in Davis and Weber counties due to cold captures temperatures in the morning.

The Wasatch Back and mountain routes are expected to receive a few inches of snow through noon, with some heavy road snow over the upper Cottonwoods, Logan Summit, Sardine Summit, and Daniels Summit, according to UDOT.

Travelers in central Utah should prepare for a light layer of snow, with an inch or two predicted in the mountains.

Second wave of snow in Utah

According to UDOT, there will be a lull in snow early to mid-Thursday afternoon. But there should be another wave of snow from 4 to 6 p.m.

“With temperatures a bit warmer at this point, the Wasatch Front will likely see more of a rain/snow mix,” UDOT said. “However, some showers may be briefly heavy for short periods of time and be enough to slush up the roads late afternoon/evening with bench routes seeing the higher concern.”

UDOT predicted the Wasatch Back and northern mountain routes to receive another couple of inches during the second wave.

The storm is expected to end around 9 p.m. for the Wasatch Front and valleys, while the mountains will continue to receive snow until about midnight.

SALT LAKE CITY — Yelp has released its annual Top 100 Places to Eat List featuring restaurants from around the country, and only one Utah location was praised by reviewers in this year’s rankings.

And it made the Top 10!

According to the site, Slackwater is definitely Yelp-worthy, with its multiple locations across northern Utah coming in at No. 9 among the top 100.

“For those who love their pizzas with a side of pop culture, this popular Utah chain hits the spot,” Yelp wrote.

Sharing what they love about Slackwater, reviewers highlighted the “eye-popping, 300-strong, beer menu,” which Yelp said is tailored to each of the restaurant’s locations in Salt Lake City, Sandy, Ogden, Herriman and Provo.

Others gushed over the wide assortment of pizzas fired up at Slackwater.

“I don’t know what sort of magic they infuse in their pizza, but yassssss! The crust is almost flaky and melt in your mouth, with perhaps a honey sweetness,” wrote reviewer Kaysha.

Yelp said its Top 100 list is created through a number of factors, including the total volume and ratings of reviews.

Utah Jazz Announce Injury Report vs. Minnesota Timberwolves

Utah Jazz Announce Injury Report vs. Minnesota Timberwolves

The Utah Jazz and Minnesota Timberwolves have each revealed their injury reports ahead of their upcoming matchup, where the Jazz in particular have some key names listed to be on the sidelines.

Here’s the full injury report outlook for both the Jazz and Timberwolves before tip-off:

Utah Jazz Injury Report

OUT – G Elijah Harkless (G League)

OUT – C Walker Kessler (left shoulder; injury recovery)

OUT – C Kevin Love (rest)

OUT – F Lauri Markkanen (illness)

OUT – F Georges Niang (left foot; fourth metatarsal stress reaction)

OUT – G Brice Sensabaugh (illness)

OUT – F John Tonje (G League)

OUT – C Oscar Tshiebwe (G League)

A few notable faces will be out of the mix for Utah, but the biggest will be none other than Lauri Markkanen, who continues his leave from a lingering illness, now forcing him out for a fifth consecutive game, and his 11th on the season thus far.

The illness has now made for Markkanen’s longest extended absence this season, putting a brief pause on his career-best campaign that’s even given him looks of being worthy for a second All-Star appearance.

In 33 games this season, Markkanen is leading the Jazz in scoring with 27.9 points a night, paired with 7.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists, shooting an efficient 48.3% from the field and 36.5% from three.

Within the 10 games that Markkanen has been forced out, Utah has struggled noticeably, now at an 0-10 record in games in which he doesn’t play, currently on a four-game losing streak to pair with his multiple-game absence. And with his status downgraded, it looks like Utah will have yet another chance to end that bothersome streak with a win.

Along with Markkanen’s status labeled as out, the Jazz will also be down two key bench contributors in Brice Sensabaugh due to an illness, as well as Kevin Love due to rest—meaning Utah will be down their sixth man and leading scorer in the second unit, while also being without their primary backup big man to prevent them from having their typical size.

Expect to see extended minutes from Kyle Filipowski in the frontcourt to compensate for that size, as well as Taylor Hendricks and Cody Williams, who will both naturally fill in for the minutes leftover from Markkanen being out of the mix.

Minnesota Timberwolves Injury Report

QUESTIONABLE – C Naz Reid (left shoulder soreness)

OUT – F Terrence Shannon Jr feft foot abductor hallucis strain)

OUT – C Rocco Zikarsky (G League)

The Timberwolves don’t have many injuries to report on their end, with the most prominent being Naz Reid, who’s questionable to suit up with a minor shoulder injury. If he does wind up playing, that could pose even more trouble for the Jazz, that are already down a significant amount of size in their own frontcourt.

The Jazz will be on the second leg of a back-to-back following the end of a five-game road trip. Energy is probably hard to come by for Utah, especially without their star forward, Markkanen. However, if they can rebound from their prior loss on the road against the San Antonio Spurs, it’ll make for their first victory of the season without the services of the finisher.
