Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Brett Kobernik
Issued by Brett Kobernik for
Sunday, March 31, 2019
Avalanche conditions have not changed much since Saturday. Things will be slightly more stable today after the fresh wind drifts from Friday have settled for another 24 hours. It's possible a person might still find one that could crack out on very steep slopes along the upper ridges. Otherwise, things are fairly stable.

Special Announcements
Utah has a rich history of avalanches. From the earlier mining days of Alta to the start of avalanche research and snow science in the US in Little Cottonwood Canyon in 1939. Snowpack and weather data has been collected from the Alta Guard Station every year since making it the longest snow plot history in the US. These roots made the UAC an early leader in avalanche education and forecasting.
Check out this video about where it all began.
Weather and Snow
A very minor disturbance moved through late Saturday bringing a few snow showers but no accumulations. Overnight, mountain temperatures dipped into the teens. Wind has been light from the east.
We should see mostly clear skies today with high temperatures around 30. Wind will shift more north and northwest and remain fairly light.
We'll have a couple of days of mild weather and then another storm looks like it'll bring snow mid week.
