Forecast for the Logan Area Mountains

CONSIDERABLE: Rain falling on saturated snow overnight created dangerous avalanche conditions at lower elevations. Destructive natural activity is possible, and it is likely people will trigger avalanches of wet snow. Warm daytime temperatures will cause heightened wet avalanche conditions at all elevations, and avalanches entraining several inches of last night's sodden fresh snow could produce sizable piles of cement-like debris. Avalanches failing on a buried persistent weak layer of surface hoar remain possible on isolated northerly facing slopes at upper elevations.
Use extra caution in the backcountry today. Evaluate snow and terrain carefully, and make conservative decisions.
