Nowcast- Yesterday's high clouds scooted to the east early this morning, revealing our amazingly fat, white mountains and allowing temperatures to dip into the single digits across the board. Winds blow from the south and are rather well behaved, humming along in the teens and low 20's along the high ridges. The sun is high in the sky and lower elevation solars have taken on a little heat and have a thin crust. But swing around to wind sheltered polars and you'll be rewarded with shallow, cold, creamy snow.
Forecast- You'll have a little time to continue working on your winter tan, but that window of opportunity closes as clouds thicken by late afternoon. Temperatures climb into the mid and upper 30's, southwest winds ramp up as the day progresses, and we might see a scattered flurry or two by sunset.
Futurecast- A solid shot of snow slides through the region overnight and an injection of cold air gives the storm a boost on Monday. Look for storm totals in the 12"-16" range by early Tuesday. This is round one of several impulses on tap for this week. After a brief break in the action, a second significant storm system impacts the area late Tuesday into Thursday. Moisture from an atmospheric river initially moves into southern Utah before spreading northward.
We've got a busy week on tap and it starts off with a Winter Storm Warning for tonight through late Monday.
A solid crew was out and about late this week stomping around the range-

From across canyon, avy-savvy, snow-pro Bill Nalli spotted this beefy, natural avalanche near Shingle Mill Peak and comments... "The depth looks to range from 2'-4' deep, 200' wide and 800' vertical. It likely released sometime toward the end of the last storm, on 3/15."
