What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this winter weather advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Salt Lake City, UT wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter weather advisory went out at Jan 21, 10:40 AM MST, 4 hours 32 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 21, 10:40 AM MST, 4 hours 32 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT
1040 AM MST Thu Jan 21 2021

.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure will build into the area through
early Friday. Two systems will bring widespread winter weather to
the state Friday into Saturday and again early next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A low amplitude longwave trough extends across the
western CONUS this morning, with a couple of shortwave features
rotating through the mean flow. An upper low noted in water vapor
imagery moving into the Desert Southwest will continue on an
easterly trajectory as it passes well south of the forecast area
today. Meanwhile an upper low spinning off the Pacific Northwest
coast will continue southward today as it digs into the base of
the longwave trough, before eventually ejecting across the
forecast area Friday night into Saturday morning. This will bring
widespread mountain snowfall across the forecast area beginning
Friday afternoon within a moistening southwesterly flow, then
focusing across northern Utah heading into Saturday within a mid
level deformation axis. Initially snow levels will likely remain
above most valley floors (with the exception of areas where low
level cold air remains trapped) as the airmass warms to near -6C
at 700mb, with snow levels falling to the valley floors Saturday
afternoon into Saturday evening across northern Utah as the
airmass cools. A secondary wave rotating through the flow has
trended further south for the latter half of the weekend, which
may keep the focus for precipitation Sunday mainly south of the
Arizona border.

Updated earlier to adjust sky cover and temperatures based on
current satellite trends and surface obs.

&&

.AVIATION...The SLC terminal will see VFR conditions throughout
the day with increasing high clouds. Light winds are expected to
become prevailing northwesterly by 19Z.

&&

.SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
UT...None.
WY...None.
