Advisory: Moab Area Mountains | Issued by Eric Trenbeath for Saturday - April 9, 2016 - 7:19am |
---|
special announcement This will be our last weekend for regular scheduled advisories. Thanks to everyone who supported the program this season! |
current conditions Skies are cloudy this morning, southwest ridgetop winds are blowing in the 10-15 mph range, and temps range from 35 degrees at Geyser Pass Trailhead, to 31 in Gold Basin, and 25 on Pre Laurel Peak. The snow surface should be well frozen over this morning, and with continued clouds and a chance of snow in the forecast, it isn't likely to soften much. I'm afraid it's going to be kind of rough out there today. Winds, temperature and humidity on Pre-Laurel Peak New snow totals, temperature and humidity in Gold Basin Total snow depth and temperature at Geyser Pass Trailhead
