Forecast for the Logan Area Mountains
Issued by Toby Weed for

Thursday, April 4, 2024
Overnight temperatures stayed well above freezing at all stations, and it will be even warmer in the mountains today than yesterday. The avalanche danger will rise to CONSIDERABLE on sunny slopes steeper than 30°. Dangerous conditions will develop with natural wet avalanches becoming likely and large cornice falls possible off the high ridges. People could trigger large, dangerous wet avalanches, especially in steep rocky terrain. There is also an elevated danger of triggering hard wind slab avalanches in some drifted upper-elevation terrain.
- Evaluate snow and terrain carefully and make conservative decisions.
- Avoid being on or under slopes with melt-softened saturated snow, and stay out from under large overhanging cornices that may fail in the heat of the day.
