Nowcast- Overnight, a little wiggle in the jet stream did its wiggle thing and delivered a couple traces of snow across the range. Though in fairness to the said wiggle... a few favored areas stacked up close to an inch of snow. A break in the clouds reveals a waning Worm Moon as temperatures hover in the mid teens. Winds are light and blow from the west and northwest, clocking in at 10-15 mph near the peaks. Riding and turning conditions are quite good, especially on wind sheltered, upper elevation slopes facing the north half of the compass.
Forecast- Partly cloudy skies are on tap for a good portion of the morning, but another round of snow is expected to roll in late this afternoon. High temperatures climb into the upper 20's while winds blow 15-25 mph from the west and northwest along the high ridges. Overnight lows dip into the teens.
Futurecast- A break in the action is slated for Wednesday with unsettled weather in the queue rounding out the workweek.
I thoroughly appreciate Uinta local Micheal J's backcountry obs. Over the weekend, MJ stomped on a small piece of overhanging cornice in the
Hoyt Peak environs, which in turn triggered a shallow wind drift on the slope below. Arrows indicate the small avalanche ran a bit further than you might expect.
