Forecast for the Abajos Area Mountains

Sunday, April 3, 2022
The avalanche danger is generally LOW but low danger doesn't mean no danger. It should stay relatively cool today but without a good refreeze last night, watch for slopes to heat up today and get off of them if they become wet and sloppy. Practice safe travel techniques by exposing only one person to danger at a time

Weather and Snow
Temperatures did not get below freezing last night but they aren't going to warm up much today either. A cold front sliding southeast down from the northern Rockies will bring mostly cloudy skies to our area today with a very slight chance for snow tonight. High temps will be in the mid to upper 30's, and we'll see light to moderate NW winds. Monday will be sunny and warmer with continued breezy NW winds. The next system on Tuesday will also track well to the north leaving us high and dry through the week. The long range crystal ball shows some action for mid next week.
