Weather and Snow
Nowcast- Even with clear skies overhead, temperatures are mild and slightly inverted this morning with the mercury registering in the mid 20's at the trailheads and close to 40 degrees along the high ridges. West and southwest winds blow 5-15 mph near the high peaks. No new snow to report since the mid month storm.
Forecast: Expect increasing clouds, wind, and maybe even a passing shower or two as storminess drifts into the Uinta zone later in the day. It looks like the most of the moisture camps out in central and southern Utah, while the north half of the state remains generally high and dry to round out the work week.
Futurecast: A more energetic storm slides into northern Utah Sunday morning and that'll deliver a modest shot of snow throughout the day, lingering into Monday. I think we'll see a fair amount of moisture with this storm, but computer models are tempering my enthusiasm and suggest a more northern track for the system, bumping the bulk of the storm into Idaho. I'll have a better handle on strength and timing for Saturday mornings update.

Recent Avalanches
No recent avalanche activity reported or observed.
Additional Information
Murdock Bowl near Bald Mountain Pass in the image above illustrates current snow cover in the high country... broken up by terrain features and not quite enough snow to move around on just yet, but worth tracking as early snow layers are the building blocks for our winter snowpack.
