Advisory: Abajo Area Mountains | Issued by Eric Trenbeath for Saturday - April 9, 2016 - 7:21am |
---|
special announcement This is our last weekend for scheduled advisories. Thanks to everyone who supported the program this season! |
current conditions Skies are cloudy this morning, southwest ridgetop winds are blowing in the 10-15 mph range, and temps range from 35 degrees at Buckboard Flat to 26 on Abajo Peak. The snow surface should be well frozen over this morning, and with continued clouds and a chance of snow in the forecast, it isn't likely to soften much. I'm afraid it's going to be kind of rough out there today. Winds, temperature and humidity on Abajo Peak. Snow totals at Buckboard Flat. Snow totals at Camp Jackson.
