Wednesday, December 4 - USU KBYG (Know Before You Go) Night, USU ARC
Weak, sugary, or faceted snow from earlier in November is widespread in upper-elevation terrain. Today, in places where drifts formed on this weak snow on slopes steeper than 30°, a person could trigger small slab avalanches of wind-drifted snow. Although there's probably not enough snow to bury you, a ride over rocks in even a small avalanche could be quite dangerous.
- The 8500' Tony Grove Snotel reports 5 inches of new snow from Saturday night, and 17 inches of total snow on the ground. 5 inches of new snow also accumulated at the 8800' UAC Card Canyon weather station, now with 21" of total snow.
- Currently, the wind is blowing from the southwest 13 mph, with overnight gusts around 22 mph at 9700' at the CSI Logan Peak weather station and from the west-southwest 11 mph with gusts of around 20 mph on Paris Peak.
- Today will be mostly sunny with 8500' high temperatures around 26°F and light winds from the southwest.
Tonight, snow is likely late, with 3 to 5 inches possible. Temperatures will rise to around 26°F and winds from the southwest will blow 10 mph.
Tuesday, snow will be heavy at times, with 8 to 12 inches of accumulation possible. Expect high temperatures around 27°F and winds from the west around 10 mph.
Tuesday Night, 2 to 4 inches of additional snow possible, temperatures will drop to around 19°F and winds from the west will blow around 10 mph.
Yesterday, observers reported triggering a few audible collapses or "whumpfs" in north-facing terrain at around 8700' in elevation. These triggered collapses are a red flag indicating unstable snow.
No avalanches have been reported yet in the Logan Zone.
