Advisory: Abajo Area Mountains | Issued by Eric Trenbeath for Saturday - March 11, 2017 - 7:04am |
---|
special announcement The Abajo/Blue Mountain avalanche advisory will provide detailed information on the weekends. During the week, general information and a danger rating will be posted. |
current conditions A weak disturbance to the north has spread a few residual clouds over our area this morning. We've had a good re-freeze up high, but it's a very warm 44 degrees at Camp Jackson. NW winds are in the 20 mph range along ridge tops. Snow conditions are a mixed bag though the dedicated enthusiast can still find something to get excited about. Corn-like snow can be found on SE-W aspects - work the sun for best results and finish up before the snow becomes wet an sloppy - while northerly aspects offer a variety of conditions from wind affected to soft, settled powder. |
weather A few clouds will move through the area this morning as a shortwave trough passes by to the north. Today we'll see mostly sunny skies, light NW winds, and high temperatures in the mid 40's at 10,000'. A second shortwave will move through to the north early Sunday morning followed by high pressure for the up coming week. |
