Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Brett Kobernik
Issued by Brett Kobernik on
Tuesday morning, March 31, 2020
There is a MODERATE avalanche danger today. Mainly on more northerly facing upper elevation slopes, a person could trigger a fresh wind drift that formed from increased southerly wind overnight.
Also, with warm temperatures and sun, the new snow could become unstable and we may see natural wet avalanche activity. Avoid steep slopes and gullies when the snow becomes wet and sloppy.

Weather and Snow
Current Conditions: Southerly wind increased in speed overnight and may have formed some fresh drifts that you'll want to be aware of. Temperatures were mild overnight in the mid to upper 20s.
Mountain Weather: Today will be warmer than the weather we've seen recently and highs in the mountains should push 40 degrees. West southwest wind will be moderate in speed today and increase late this afternoon. Wednesday looks like another nice day and then we'll have a small storm move through Wednesday night that might bring a few inches of snow.

Additional Information
The UAC encourages everyone to follow direction from federal, state, county and city officicals. The following is from Joe Dougherty, spokesman for the Utah Division of Emergency Management:
Though outdoor recreation is still permitted under the governor’s Stay Safe/Stay Home directive, we recommend that people maintain a distance of at least 6 feet.
Be extra cautious to avoid injuries outdoors. We are working with our hospital systems to conserve as much personal protective equipment as possible in case of hospitalizations.
Most outdoor injuries can be prevented. Know the conditions and know your limits so you don’t end up in a hospital.
