A splitting trough is approaching northern Utah. Currently, skies are overcast, and the southwesterly winds are light, averaging 5 to 10 mph. Even the highest peaks only have averages of 15 mph. Temperatures in the Provo area mountains are in the low 30s to upper 20s and dropping as I type.
The low to mid elevation slopes in the Provo area mountains are mostly bare, with only patchy snow. On shady, upper elevation slopes, total snow on the ground was around a foot deep when Drew went up to Primrose cirque at the beginning of the month. There looks to be a bit more snow on Cascade Ridge.
No new avalanche activity has been reported in the Wasatch for over a week.
