It was fairly warm yesterday and the new snow became saturated quite quickly at all elevations. Due north facing slopes harboring drier snow rode quite well though started to feel slightly damp by afternoon. Heightened avalanche conditions exist in the Logan backcountry. People could trigger wet avalanches on steep slopes with saturated snow.

Today will be warm and windy in the mountains as a shallow cold front brushes by the area this afternoon. Daytime highs will reach 40 F in the mountains with southwest winds blowing 15-25 mph. There is the potential for some light rain and/or snow flurries in the afternoon during frontal passage. Skies are expected to be mostly clear for the remainder of the week with mountain daytime temperatures in the high 30's F, overnight temperatures in the low 20's F, and winds generally out of the west blowing 10-20 mph. A more active pattern moves in on Saturday with the return of wet, unsettled, and cooler weather.
