Advisory: Uintas Area Mountains | Issued by Craig Gordon for Tuesday - April 5, 2016 - 4:07am |
---|
special announcement We're starting to wrap things up for the season and this Sunday April 10th will be the last of our regularly scheduled advisories. |
current conditions Skies are beginning to clear in the wake of last night's cold front, but overnight lows barely dipped to freezing at many locations. Along the high ridges it's slightly cooler, in the mid 20's, and westerly winds are blowing in the 30's and 40's. The snow surface is a mixed bag of supportable and unsupportable crusts, but if you decide to blow off working on your taxes today you can still find patches of soft settled snow on upper elevation, north facing slopes. Uinta weather station network info is found here. Trip reports and observations are found here.
|
recent activity No new avalanche activity to report. Recent avalanche observations are found here See or trigger an avalanche? Shooting cracks? Hear a collapse? It's simple. Go here to fill out an observation.
|
weather Partly cloudy skies and cooler temperatures are on tap for us. Today's highs don't vary much from where we're at and overnight lows dip into the low 20's. West and northwest winds blow in the 30's and 40's along the high peaks. High pressure builds for the latter half of the week, producing clear skies and a warming trend.
