Under mostly clear skies, the mountain temperatures bottomed out in the mid 20's °F allowing the snow to re-freeze at the lower elevations and on sunny aspects. Winds overnight backed to the southwest and are currently blowing 10-15 mph gusting into the mid and upper 20's at ridgeline.

For today, we will see increasing clouds streaming overhead as a closed low off the coast of California ejects moisture ahead of the storm. Winds will remain from the southwest for much of the day at speeds of 10-20 mph across the upper elevations. The sky cover will vary a lot today with filtered sun, partly cloudy, to cloudy skies at times. It is spring after all. This afternoon a shallow cold front will cross into northern Utah around 3:00 pm; winds will veer north and bring some snow showers to the mountains with 1 to 4 inches of new snow possible. Next week could be the return to winter. Stay tuned
