Forecast for the Moab Area Mountains
Tuesday morning, January 28, 2014
The avalanche danger is generally LOW at this time. Low danger doesn't mean no danger, and you still need to be alert to unstable snow on isolated terrain features. With snow forecasted for later this week, and with winds on the increase, expect this danger to rise.
There are isolated pockets of MODERATE danger where it is possible to trigger a loose, faceted snow avalanche, primarily on very steep, shady terrain where the entire snow pack consists of weak, sugary snow.
There also remains a very isolated MODERATE danger for triggering a buried persistent slab, or wind slab, primarily on upper elevation terrain, steeper than about 40 degrees that faces the north half of the compass.
