This morning, mountain temperatures are in the low to mid-30s °F with light easterly winds.

The weak system that moved through left the Provo-area mountains high and dry, with only a trace of new precipitation at most. Sundance Mid-Mountain, Aspen Grove and Bunnells Ridge are reporting no to very little new snow or precipitation.

High pressure is settling in behind the last storm, keeping temperatures 5–10°F cooler than normal for now. A strong ridge takes over next, bringing a steady warm-up through the weekend, with temperatures reaching up to 5°F above normal by Sunday. Mild, dry weather will likely continue into next week, though a few models show the ridge breaking down midweek and opening the door to more storms, so the longer-range forecast remains uncertain.

Roughly 1.5–2" of water fell in the Provo mountains since Halloween. The storm started warm and wet, then colder air Monday into Tuesday dropped the snowline to about 8,500'. The dense snow has started an early-season base, but it’s still shallow, with rocks and obstacles just below the surface. Don’t let the fresh white coat fool you.
