Sun is Shining

 TL;DR:

Sunny but cold today. Potential for a light refresh mid week and a bigger storm into the weekend.

Nowcast:


Sun is out today so get out and enjoy it while it lasts. Cold temperatures will persist throughout the day as we are getting polar air masses from the north.

Short term:


Persisting cold temperatures and a potential for a small amount of mountain precipitation by midday Wednesday. The vortex south of Utah will likely hang around for a little while, continuing a cold spell for our area.

Long term:


This week may be dry compared to what us Utahns are used to at this point, but keep your head up as we look into the weekend. Continued northerly flow may have some results by the weekend but the models aren't quite agreeing yet. Stay tuned for more up to date forecasts.


Backcountry comments:


If you will be traveling in the backcountry make sure you have the proper equipment and know before you go. For the whole avalanche forecast and all things avalanche head over to our friends at the Utah Avalanche Center.
