Advisory: Provo Area Mountains | Issued by Drew Hardesty for Monday - December 18, 2017 - 7:17am |
---|
special announcement Based on conditions, we will be issuing intermittent advisories. The next update will be Wednesday the 20th of December. Check out the blog Avalanche Fatalities During Uphill Travel. Backcountry travelers need a clear focus on evaluating terrain during their ascent, as well as their descents. |
current conditions Skies are mostly cloudy with mountain temps in the mid-20s. Winds are west to northwesterly blowing 10mph. The low to mid elevation slopes in the Provo area mountains below about 9500' are mostly bare, with only patchy snow. On shady, upper elevation slopes, total snow on the ground was around a foot deep when Drew went up to Primrose cirque at the beginning of the month. There looks to be a bit more snow on Cascade Ridge. See Mark's photo collage of the Provo mountains from Saturday. |
recent activity None. |
weather High pressure will again build into the region ahead of a a very cold system arriving Wednesday afternoon. Until then, mountain temperatures will be in the upper 20s to low 30s; winds will be west to northwesterly at 15-20mph. West to southwest winds will pick up later Tuesday into early Wednesday ahead of the cold front with mountain temperatures plunging to the single digits by early Thursday. An optimistic 3-6 " may look like something, but it'll be very low density. Another colder system potentially on track for later Friday. The winter solstice arrives 930am Thursday - maybe this'll mark a transition to true winter. |
