Forecast for the Logan Area Mountains

Toby Weed
Issued by Toby Weed on
Monday morning, November 18, 2024
0800 Monday, November 18, 2024:
There is still not enough snow to cover the rocks in the Bear River Range, but heavy snowfall today could help the situation. Rapid accumulations will cause an increase in avalanche danger, and shallow avalanches of drifted new snow are possible on upper-elevation slopes that were snow-covered last weekend.

Weather and Snow
  • We found shallow, very loose, sugary snow above 8000' in the Central Bear River Range yesterday. This snow is very weak, and as new snow stacks up, it will create avalanche concerns where it exists on smooth slopes steeper than about 30°.
  • Heavy snowfall is possible today and tonight in the mountains, with 7 to 13 inches of accumulation possible in some areas by tomorrow morning. There is 9" of total snow at the 8500' Tony Grove Snotel and 12" at the 8800' UAC Card Canyon weather station.
  • A Pacific Northwest storm system will bring periods of snow to northern Utah and southwest Wyoming through Tuesday. High pressure will return for the remainder of the week,

Recent Avalanches
No avalanches have been reported recently in the Logan Zone, but remember, avalanches are possible any time snow accumulates on slopes steeper than 30 degrees.
