Uintas

With just an inch or two of new snow and very cold temperatures this morning, avalanches are unlikely and the avalanche danger is LOW.

The last daily forecast will be Sunday, April 23. We will provide intermittent updates with any storm until Sunday, May 7th and will continue posting backcountry observations until then.

There were no reported avalanches yesterday or the day before. In the Wasatch Range, where more snow fell yesterday, there were some soft slabs of wind drifted snow about 2-4 inches deep triggered by ski patrols.

Yesterday, an inch or two of snow fell mainly in the northern half of the Uintas.

This morning, temperatures are generally in the teens F. At many trail heads, temperatures are around 20 degrees F while upper elevations have temperatures in the single digits. Winds are blowing 5-15 mph gusting 20 mph from the west-northwest.

Today will be cold, calm, and partly sunny. Cold air over the area will keep temperatures from warming much. There should be sunshine this morning, but some clouds should return this afternoon. Winds will be light.

Tomorrow should have cloudy skies with a few inches of snow accumulating.

Cold temperatures have solidly refrozen the snowpack.
