Forecast for the Moab Area Mountains
Saturday morning, January 16, 2016
Today there is a MODERATE danger for triggering shallow wind slabs along the lee sides of upper elevation ridge crests and terrain features, primarily on slopes with a N-E-SE aspect.
Out of the wind zone, the avalanche danger is generally LOW, though a very isolated or MODERATE danger still exists on steep, northerly facing aspects for triggering a deep slab avalanche. This danger exists primarily in areas of rocky, more radical terrain, and in areas with a thin snowpack.
