Forecast for the Moab Area Mountains
Saturday, April 7, 2018
Strange weather is about to affect our snowpack. The overall impacts are uncertain, but rain on snow is never a good thing. The main event isn't expected until later this evening but expect a rising MODERATE danger for loose wet, avalanches on all aspects today.
As the snowpack becomes saturated we may also see a MODERATE danger for large and destructive wet slab avalanches. The most suspect areas are on steep, rocky, northerly facing aspects right around treeline and below where loose, faceted snow still exists near the ground.
