The overall avalanche danger remains generally LOW on the Skyline today.
Minor fresh drifts along upper elevation ridgelines is the only threat today.
Avalanche conditions are generally safe today. You're only concern is the slight possibility of finding a fresh drift that could crack out that is large enough to actually knock you around. I'm doubting this is a big concern but watch for wind drifted snow along and just below ridges especially in the higher more east facing terrain.
Current Conditions: The storm is basically over. Snow totals on the northern Skyline around Ephraim Canyon/Electric Lake are only a trace to an inch or two. The central and southern end did better and it looks like most stations are at around 5 inches. The GBRC Meadows station in Ephraim Canyon is the outlier with an increase of 12" since Friday. It's possible that it's accurate but I'm a little suspicious that wind drifted in snow there. I'll have a look today. The wind has been pretty strong from the west. It's slowing but still a bit breezy. Temperatures are cold and most stations are in the mid teens.
Mountain Weather: We'll see lingering clouds today with moderate speed west wind. High temperatures should get up to around 30˚F. Monday looks partly cloudy with slightly warmer temperatures. High pressure moves in for the rest of the week bringing warm weather. There is a storm depicted that's about a week away.
