Sunday, April 17th is the last of our regularly scheduled daily forecasts for the western Uinta mountains. But, don't let your heart be troubled... I'll continue to update this page with intermittent forecasts if Mother Nature decides to keep the winter switch turned on.
NOWCAST-
It's snowing a little bit this morning. Temperatures are 20 degrees F at upper elevations and closer to 30 degrees at trailheads (11 degrees warmer than yesterday morning). Winds from the southwest are blowing 15-28 mph at upper elevations with gusts up to 36 mph. Storm totals over the last few days are 14 inches of new snow which has settled into dense, creamy powder. The new snow became damp yesterday and should have a thin ice crust this morning mostly below 9000 ft.
FORECAST-
An inch of snow could fall this morning under mostly cloudy skies. Clouds should thin throughout the afternoon and the sun may pop out here and there this afternoon. Temperatures should rise to near 30 degrees and winds will continue as they are this morning, perhaps easing some this afternoon.
FUTURECAST-
Unsettled weather with some clouds and a few inches of snow Saturday afternoon/evening followed by clearing skies for Sunday and warmer temperatures.

upper Weber Canyon yesterday. Note the snow getting a touch damp and sticking to itself in the ski tracks.
