He describes the storm system as relatively warm, bringing valley rain and mountain snow through the afternoon. Current conditions at 5 a.m. include heavy rain across valleys with a 98% chance of precipitation and temperatures at 44 degrees, expected to climb to 59 by 6 p.m. The rain is forecast to taper off around 2 p.m. as the system moves through. Winds are noted to shift from northerly to westerly around 6 a.m., which signals the storm's progression statewide. For the Wasatch Front, valley locations are experiencing steady rain, while benches see a rain-snow mix. The winter weather advisory is emphasized for mountain Utah. Practical advice is given for Wednesday plans: morning commuters should allow extra time for wet roads and reduced visibility.

Specific mountain passes like Parley's Canyon and Sardine Canyon are highlighted as especially tricky this morning. Valley residents are told to secure loose items like patio furniture and trash cans before westerly winds pick up.

The episode concludes with a reminder to check mountain road conditions frequently if heading to higher elevations.
