Highlights
The avalanche danger is LOW. The three things to watch for today are (1) pockets of isolated wind slabs in the upper elevations, (2) sluffing in the upper elevation northern aspects and (3) small, wet, loose avalanches on southeast through west-facing aspects.
Remember a low avalanche danger, doesn’t mean “no avalanche danger”. Continue to evaluate snow and terrain carefully.

Snow and Weather
This morning, temperatures range through the upper 20's and low 30's F, with a temperature inversion at some low-elevation trailheads with temperatures in the low 20's F. Winds are westerly and generally light averaging 0-5 mph with gusts up to 10 mph.
Today, the high pressure system will gradually shift east. This will bring mostly cloudy skies and warm temperatures, in the upper 30s to low 40s F. Winds will continue to be west southwesterly and average 5-15 mph with gusts below 25 mph at mid-elevations. Upper elevation ridgelines will average 10-20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph.
Looking forward, a storm system will be tracking south of us tonight and could bring up to 1 inch of snow to the Provo area mountains.
