Advisory: Uintas Area Mountains | Issued by Craig Gordon for Friday - April 8, 2016 - 4:10am |

special announcement We're starting to wrap things up for the season and this Sunday April 10th will be the last of our regularly scheduled advisories. On April 8-9 the Adventure Gear Expo, Utah’s largest interactive adventure festival and outdoor gear sale for the public, will be at the South Town Expo Center in Sandy highlighting 100+ local and national retailers, manufacturers and non-profits in active outdoor sports, outdoor photography and adventure travel. If you buy tickets online using the promo code GOUAC, you will get a $2 discount and they will donate $2 to the UAC. |
current conditions Skies remained clear again overnight, but low temperatures barely reached freezing and many of our weather stations are registering in the mid to upper 30's. Winds are light and northerly, blowing just 10-20 mph even along the high peaks. It's mud season at many trailheads and our low elevation approaches are smoked. Yep... getting around right now is kinda rugged. Uinta weather station network info is found here. Trip reports and observations are found here.
|
recent activity No new avalanche activity to report. Recent avalanche observations are found here See or trigger an avalanche? Shooting cracks? Hear a collapse? It's simple. Go here to fill out an observation.
|
weather We can expect partly cloudy skies with temperatures warming into the mid 50's. Winds shift to the southeast later today and increase slightly. Clouds thicken overnight and lows hover right around freezing. Hit or miss snow showers and perhaps a little rain starts filling in during the evening, but with a mild airmass in place, snow levels and snow densities will be on the high side. Saturday looks cloudy and warm with scattered rain and snow showers. A somewhat moist and unsettled pattern continues through much of next week.
