Avalanche danger gets tricky as today's storm materializes-
CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger exists on steep, rocky, upper elevation, leeward slopes. Drifted slopes in the wind zone, above treeline are sketchy and human triggered avalanches LIKELY particularly in terrain facing the north half of the compass. MODERATE avalanche danger is found at treeline and human triggered avalanches POSSIBLE on steep slopes with recent deposits of wind drifted snow.
If you're looking for LOW avalanche danger, remember the Uinta's have plenty of wind sheltered options. Human triggered avalanches are UNLIKELY on most lower elevation slopes, particularly those facing the south half of the compass.
