In sintesi
Today the avalanche danger is LOW at all elevations and aspects. Cloudy skies will limit warming of the snowpack and any wet avalanche problems. Most old slabs of wind drifted snow have stabilized.

Recent Activity
Despite very warm temperatures and strong sunshine yesterday there was almost no wet snow avalanche activity. A cool breeze limited heating of the snow to some degree. Also, the snowpack has been through multiple melt-freeze cycles and can handle the warm temperatures.
Snow and Weather
This morning temperatures across most elevations are mostly in the upper 20s F with just a few clouds in the sky. Overnight winds calmed and shifted to a southerly direction. They were barely blowing on top of Ogden Peak early this morning.
Today skies will become increasingly cloudy as moisture comes up from southern Utah bringing only an inch or two of snow this afternoon. Another inch or two may fall overnight as well. Temperatures will warm into the 40s F at lower elevations again today, but not climb out of the upper 20s F at upper elevations. Winds should remain light but could switch a little more westerly this afternoon and increase slightly.
The snow should be mostly refrozen this morning. Decent corn snow developed late morning yesterday, but that probably won't happen today.
