AVALANCHE BULLETIN
Friday, November 04, 2005 8pm
Good evening, this is Drew Hardesty with the
Current Conditions: 6-7” of 12% density snow fell in the Ogden and Salt
Lake mountains, bumping our meager pack up to 12-16” on the highest elevation
shady slopes. The
Avalanche Discussion: The
stronger gusts were enough to create isolated soft slabs along the higher
elevations on predominantly eastern aspects. One observer reported triggering
a couple new wind drifts along the
Mountain Weather: The third in a series of weak
storms embedded in the westerly pattern will push through tonight and tomorrow. 2-5” is possible in the northern Wasatch. Winds tonight will be 20-25 mph out of the
west northwest, then back to the southwest on Saturday, dropping to
10-15mph. 10,000’ temps will be in the
high teens tonight and tomorrow with 8000’ highs near 30 on Saturday. Saturday and Sunday look to be unsettled with
a few showers. A warm and windy Monday
precedes a strong cold front due to arrive Tuesday morning.
