The Tony Grove Snotel at 8400' reports 27ºF this morning and there is 86" of total snow with 104% of average SWE for the date. It's 23ºF at the 9700' CSI Logan Peak weather station, and west-northwest winds are currently averaging around 10 mph. The snow is stable on most slopes this morning and the danger is generally Low. Exceptions exist on isolated slopes at upper elevations, and you might trigger a shallow avalanche failing on a persistent weak layer. Warming from strong March sun and possible green-housing from high cloud cover today will create heightened wet avalanche conditions on steep slopes with saturated, melt-softened snow.
High pressure aloft will shift north into western Canada and the northern Rockies early this week. The next storm system will arrive midweek, with impacts primarily across the southern and central portions of the forecast area. It'll be mostly cloudy in the mountains today, with high clouds. High temperatures at 8500' expected be around 38ºF, with 5 to 7 mph east winds, veering from the west-southwest in the afternoon. It will be mostly clear tonight, with low temperatures around 16º F, and 5 to 10 mph north winds, becoming east-northeast in the evening. It will be sunny tomorrow, with high temperatures around 36ºF, and 10 to 15 mph east-northeast winds.
There were a few midday natural wet avalanches in the area over the weekend, but these are to be expected as the winter snow is warmed up by the strong March sun. No new avalanches were reported in the Logan Zone and it was quite busy in the backcountry.
A skier remote triggered a 8" deep and 200' wide avalanche running on a persistent weak layer on a northwest facing slope at about 8800' on James Peak in the Southern Bear River Range on Saturday. Report is
HERE.
This intentionally triggered shallow soft slab avalanche failed on surface hoar with energy several feet below a slope cut.
