Forecast for the Logan Area Mountains
Friday morning, March 15, 2013
Very warm mountain temperatures are causing dangerous avalanche conditions, and the danger will rise with the heat to CONSIDERABLE (or level 3) again in the backcountry today. After an unseasonably warm night, wet and heat-related avalanches will become increasingly likely as the day warms and the already saturated snow softens. Natural avalanches are possible in steep terrain at all elevations.. Avoid and stay out from under steep slopes and obvious or historic avalanche paths. Careful snowpack evaluation, cautious route-finding, and conservative decision-making will be essential for travel in avalanche terrain today.
