Winds blowing from the south increased significantly overnight, drifting yesterday's fresh snow and creating shallow wind slabs in lee slope deposition zones. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the Logan Zone through Wednesday evening. 9 to 16 inches could accumulate in upper elevation terrain by tomorrow morning, and winds from the southwest will increase in the mountains through this evening. The storm will elevate avalanche conditions, with shallow human-triggered avalanches of wind-drifted snow possible at upper elevations this afternoon and heightened conditions more widespread tomorrow.

Yesterday, we found decent riding in the shallow new snow, especially in low-angled terrain where the old warm snow from last week was untracked and smooth. The snowpack took quite a hit from last week's hot weather, with most low-elevation terrain completely melted off or with very shallow coverage.

The Tony Grove Snotel at 8400 feet reported around 7 inches of new snow, with 2 inches yesterday evening and .8" SWE. It's 30° F, and there is 92 inches of total snow. About 5 inches accumulated at the Card Canyon weather station at 8800 feet. It's 30° F and there is 71 inches of total snow.

At 9700 feet at CSI's Logan Peak Wx station, winds are currently blowing from the southwest 15 to 30 mph with gusts in the 40s, and it's 25° F. The winds on Paris Peak at 9500 feet are blowing from the south-southwest 10 to 20 mph, and it's 24° F.

It is currently snowing heavily at Beaver Mountain, and there is about 1" of new snow on their snowstake. (Check the Beaver Mt Webcams) Snow showers are likely today, mostly in the afternoon, and snowfall could be heavy at times, with 3 to 7 inches of accumulation possible by evening. Some thunder is possible. Expect a high temperature at 9000 feet around 38° F, and it will be breezy, with a southwest wind 9 to 14 mph increasing to 19 to 24 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 36 mph.
