Advisory: Logan Area Mountains | Issued by Toby Weed for Tuesday - March 8, 2016 - 7:04am |
---|
current conditions The Tony Grove Snotel at 8400' reports 20 degrees this morning and there's 70 inches of total snow containing 94% of average water for the date. 4 or 5 inches of fairly heavy snow fell at upper elevations after a rainy day Sunday night. It's 14 degrees and at the 9700' CSI Logan Peak weather station and the wind sensor is encased with rime. Ogden Peak shows increasing light northerly winds after calm conditions overnight. I found nice smooth "ride anywhere" and stable conditions, with a few inches of fresh California-like snow at upper elevations yesterday.

description
Pockets with heightened cornice fall and wind slab avalanche conditions may exist in some drifted upper elevation terrain. With the increasing sun angle in March, we always need to consider the possibility of loose wet avalanches involving sun warmed fresh snow.
|
weather Looks like we might see some snow showers in the mountains this afternoon, and it'll be partly sunny with a high temperature at 8500' of around 34 degrees. Expect light northeast wind veering from the west later in the afternoon. There's a chance of 1 or 2 inches of accumulation tonight, with low temps around 23 degrees and increasing southwest wind. Snow showers are likely tomorrow morning, with another 1 to 3 inches of accumulation possible, a high near 29, and west winds averaging in the teens. A mild southwest flow will develop later in the week.
