Forecast for the Provo Area Mountains
Thursday, April 12, 2018
The avalanche danger will rise to MODERATE for new snow instabilities today, particularly with developing wind slabs along the mid and upper elevations. These drifts will be more pronounced on northeast to southeast facing slopes and just to the lee of the ridgelines, and potentially crossloaded beyond the subridges, spines, convexities, and other terrain features. With sustained winds, I expect drifts to become thicker and more widespread over the next 24-36 hours.
As an outlier, deeper wet slabs are unlikely but possible in upper elevation terrain as these elevations continue to transition from winter to spring.
