Next Sunday, April 16th will be the last of the regularly scheduled western Uinta Advisories
A storm is churning to the west, signaling a change in the weather pattern and it's slated to arrive later today. In the meantime, clouds are streaming into the region, southwest winds are cranking in the 60's and 70's along the high ridges, and temperatures hover near freezing. Riding and turning conditions are a mixed bag and a bit underwhelming, but there's a good shot of snow slated for later today. So it might be a good morning to hold off, get some projects off your plate, and get after it later in the day as the storm evolves.
Well, we have two flavors of wind today.... south-southwest or strictly southwest. Either way you cut it winds are cranking. Above, 24 hour wind data from Windy Peak (10,166') and Lofty Lake Peak (11,186')
