The Utah Avalanche Center has issued an Avalanche Warning for the Northern Wasatch mountains. The avalanche danger will rise to HIGH this morning as heavy snow and strong winds will overload a weak snowpack on slopes facing northwest through east where avalanches may break down 2-3 feet and over a hundred feet wide. Both human-triggered and natural avalanches are likely.
There is a CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger on mid-elevation northerly-facing slopes.
There is a MODERATE danger on low-elevation northerly-facing slopes and mid and upper-elevation southerly-facing slopes.
The avalanche danger is expected to remain HIGH into next week.
