Skies are mostly cloudy as a weak cut-off upper level low pressure system moves south through the area. Mountain temperatures are in the upper 20s. Winds aloft are from the west southwest, blowing 10-15mph, but the anemometer at 8200' in Provo Canyon is showing winds from the northeast, blowing 20mph with gusts to 25mph. This may have to do with this weak system moving through with wrap-around winds, particularly in the canyons. Cloud cover should start to thin by the afternoon. Winds, particularly north of I-80, will shift and blow from the east tonight and tomorrow, with particularly strong speeds in and at the mouth of the canyons. Winds aloft may also be moderate to strong from the east in the Logan area mountains and along the Idaho border. Temperatures will be in the 20s.

High pressure builds for the foreseeable future. The tea leaves hint at a pattern change just after the Solstice but we'll see.

In the meantime, backcountry travel is easy and supportable (for now), the weather is benign, and avalanche conditions are on the mend.
