Advisory: Uintas Area Mountains | Issued by Craig Gordon for Saturday - November 28, 2015 - 5:33am |
---|
current conditions Scattered snow showers overnight delivered another inch or two of very light density snow across the range and southwest winds increased early this morning, currently blowing 10-20 mph along the high ridges. Cold air continues to filter into the region ushering in temperatures in the single digits. Our western Uinta weather station network is up and running. Click here for real time snow, winds, and temperatures. We visited the south half of the range yesterday where it's still pretty shallow and riding options are limited to road rides or low angle grassy meadows. Recent trip reports and observations are found here.

recent activity No recent avalanche activity to report, but we are posting observations from the backcountry on a daily basis now. See or trigger an avalanche? Shooting cracks? Hear a collapse? It's simple. Go here to fill out an observation. |
weather The low pressure system that brought us the Thanksgiving storm continues to pull in moisture from the east and that'll keep on-again, off-again snow showers in the forecast through early Sunday. Temperatures remain cold, barely reaching into the teens with overnight lows near zero. Winds will be variable, but generally blowing in the 10-20 mph range along the high ridges. There's a better shot of snow slated for late Sunday as one last wave of moisture slides through the region. High pressure builds for next week with a slow warming trend on tap. The computer models hint at a storm for late in the week... we'll keep you posted.
