Forecast for the Logan Area Mountains
Sunday morning, March 3, 2013
Rain has created dangerous avalanche conditions and a CONSIDERABLE (level 3) danger on saturated slopes at lower elevations. Heightened avalanche conditions and a MODERATE (or level 2) exists elsewhere in the backcountry this evening. Loose wet avalanches are likely on steep slopes at lower elevations where the snow is very saturated and soft. The warmth will also cause an increased danger of dangerous persistent slab avalanches in outlying terrain with poor snow structure, as well as increased wind slab and cornice fall potential. Evaluate the snow and terrain carefully, avoid and stay out from under steep slopes with saturated snow, and continue to use safe backcountry travel protocols.
