We are headed to the Utah Panhandle for our forecast today. Have you ever been?
At 151PM, MT, Logan was reporting light rain, and a temperature of 43 degrees. A deep trough aloft has helped generate a strong area of cyclonic flow centered over northern New Mexico. Scattered showers are widespread across the Central Rockies, with snow common at elevation. Logan is on the back side of the feature, and is enduring the cooler wet weather.
Despite the surface feature intensifying and shifting towards the Great Lakes, moisture will remain strewn through the Rockies, riding the northern flank of the jet. Spots of rain will be in the forecast through the day tomorrow but ultimately, the vigorous jet is the culprit, and will carry most of the moisture at altitude. Rain and snow will thin vertically, and Tuesday morning will be dry in Logan, but not in the Wasatch.

There is some variability on the end time for precipitation. I feel as though the position at the var northern end of Utah will isolate Logan a bit from the steering flow and dry them out a bit. Only one way to find out. It is quite wet tonight, however.
