Just 'cause you can see it from the car doesn't mean it's safe or you're good to go. Our front-line health care workers are maxed out. So, let's collectively think about our decisions and the consequences that may have on others, especially if we need outside assistance or a rescue.

Nowcast-
Under clear skies, temperatures remained mild overnight, generally registering in the upper 20's and low 30's across the board. Southerly winds currently blow 10-20 mph. along the high ridges. Riding and turning conditions are a mixed bag, though there's some creamy snow found in wind sheltered terrain. But with snow depths only averaging 18" or so, the Uinta's are quite thin.
Forecast-
Look for mostly sunny skies with high temperatures climbing into the low 40's. A weak system slides through the region late in the day, but the only real impact is a few clouds and a couple of degrees of cooling. Overnight lows dip into the 20's. Southerly winds remain reasonable, but blow in the 20's and 30's along the high peaks.
Futurecast-
Sunny skies and dry weather prevail through the week, with very warm temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday. Something resembling a storm materializes towards the end of the week, but the jury still deliberates as I write this forecast... stay tuned.
