Avalanche Advisory
Advisory: Uintas Area Mountains Issued by Brett Kobernik for Wednesday - November 4, 2015 - 9:36am
bottom line

We are currently monitoring weather and any snow that is accumulating in the high country. We will continue to update the advisories as needed with each storm that moves through over the next few weeks.




current conditions

Hello everyone! The forecasting staff is back on the clock and we are preparing for the upcoming 2015-16 winter season. We are busy updating our website and watching the recent storms that have rolled through and dusted the peaks with a small amount of snow.

There is not enough snow to recreate in right now but we are watching it so we have a good handle on what is out there as we continue to add more snow on top. Early season snow can become weak layers and produce avalanches once we add more snow on top so that is why we pay attention.

We will continue to update these advisories periodically as needed and to inform you about new ways you can get avalanche information from us.

weather

The current storm is large in area but it's really not doing much to add very much snow. It drifted in from the northwest and is dipping quite far south into northern Arizona. It obviously cooled temperatures off quite a bit. It will be exiting the area by Thursday. Another weather system right on it's heels will brush northeastern Utah Thursday night into Friday.

The current longer term outlook seems fairly active with weather models depicting numerous weather systems moving through over the next couple of weeks. We will continue to update as these storms get closer.
