Uintas

Today, you'll find LOW avalanche danger and human triggered avalanches are unlikely on all aspects and elevations. Sure, most terrain is good to go... but remember, if you're stepping into a big, committing line take a minute and think about the consequences of triggering even a small avalanche that could knock you off your feet and instantly ruin your day.

NOWCAST-

Scattered snow showers developed late last night, delivering a trace to a couple traces of snow. Under mostly cloudy skies, very cold air camps out over the region with current temperatures registering right around -5 across the board. Northerly winds are light and blow just 5-15 mph, but that creates windchill close to -30 degrees near the high peaks. Riding and turning conditions are a mixed bag and it might not be a bad day to get the garage cleaned... definitely not a day to causally work on your ridgetop weather stations.

FORECAST-

A brief snow shower or two moves through the region this morning and we'll probably squeak out an inch, maybe two inches or snow. Skies gradually clear as the day wares on and temperatures barely crawl out of the single digits. Winds remain reasonable and in the 10-20 mph range. Overnight lows crater into negative territory.

FUTURECAST-

Slow warming through the end of the work week with another moisture starved system on tap for Saturday. No big storms or weather pattern change in sight.

While we're waiting patiently for winter to return from its hiatus, take a few minutes and visit one of our beacon parks and test your rescue skills. Ted installed a Beacon Basin at the Bear River Trailhead and there's another park found at the northeast corner of the Nobletts Trailhead.
