current conditions The 8400' Tony Grove Snotel reports 26 F and 98" of total snow containing 160% of average SWE (Snow Water Equivalent) . It's 23 F at the CSI Logan Peak weather station at 9700', and the wind is from the southwest at 16 mph. There's a few inches of settled powder on shady upper elevation slopes, but the week-old snow has seen too much wind, sun, and warmth elsewhere, creating variable conditions. Under the soft surface is a thick and hard crust formed by warmth and copious rain last week. Small wind slab avalanches and shallow wet sluffs are possible involving surface layers, but the bomber crust is holding the deeper snowpack together. |

weather The upper level trough off the California coast will send moisture along with a series of weather disturbances across Utah through the weekend. High pressure aloft will return early next week, followed by another round of active weather midweek. Snow is possible this afternoon, but less than an inch is expected. We'll see increasing clouds, and a high temperature at 8500' of 38 F. Light winds will become 5 to 7 mph from the south-southeast in the afternoon. 2 to 4 inches of snow is expected tonight, with a low temperature of 29 F and 7 to 17 mph south-southwest wind. Snow is likely tomorrow morning, but looks like we'll be lucky to see more than a half inch. It'll be cloudy with a high temperature of 36 F and breezy, with 21 to 26 mph south wind, gusting to 40 mph. A couple inches of snow is possible Saturday night, with southwest wind 8 to 15 mph, and a low temperature of 29 F. |
