Provo

Watch for a rising avalanche danger this weekend with strong winds and heavy snow possible overnight Saturday into Sunday.

Updates will follow as conditions warrant. This update is from 6 pm on Friday, November 22, 2024.

The 17th Annual Utah Snow and Avalanche Workshop (USAW) is scheduled for Saturday December 7th - Information and tickets available here.

No recent avalanches reported. On Friday, UAC forecasters Nikki Champion and Drew Hardesty traveled around the Provo-area mountains and provide a great overview of the coverage and snowpack. Nikki demonstrates some of the weak snow they found in the video below.

There is little snow at the low elevations making access challenging. The good news is we are expecting snow Saturday night into Sunday, with additional snow this week.

Saturday - Winds will be from the south/southwest gusting near 30 mph at the mid elevations and over 60 mph at the uppermost elevations ahead of a storm on later Saturday evening. Snowfall could be heavy overnight Saturday into Sunday morning, with snow totals possibly exceeding a foot in the upper elevations of the Provo mountains.

Sunday - Slowly clearing skies with snow showers ending during the morning. A brief break with more snow possible on Tuesday.
