Another warm, calm, and mostly sunny day is on tap as a ridge of high pressure is centered over Utah. We may say a few high and mid-level clouds later today with a shift in wind direction to the SW. High temps at 10,000' will be in the upper 30's. Clouds will increase tonight before clearing out tomorrow bringing another sunny and even warmer day. A weak Pacific trough will bring unsettled weather for the weekend.

NWS Weather Forecast.

Snow totals over the weekend varied across the range with what appears to be 5"-10" with about 1.4" of snow-water-equivalent. Strong NW winds on Sunday have blown and drifted the new snow, especially in exposed terrain at upper elevations and steep, wind drifted slopes should be avoided. Look for wind drifts on the leeward sides of ridge crests and terrain features such as gully walls and sub ridges. Drifts are recognizable by their smooth, rounded appearance and cracking is a sign of instability. On steep, wind-loaded, northerly aspects, it may still be possible to trigger a deeper avalanche failing on a buried persistent weak layer of sugary, faceted snow.
