A Break from the Snow

 TL;DR:

Warm temperatures over the next week, nothing exciting. Possible showers by next weekend. Highs in the lower 60s, lows in the upper 30s and lower 40s. 

Nowcast:

Clear day today, with no clouds in sight. The temperature is hovering around 60-64 degrees. After our crazy wind storm the past weekend, it's not too windy today which is a nice break.

Short term:

Over the next couple days, expect temperatures to stay in the 60s for the high and the 40s for the low. An area of high pressure is currently situated over the Wasatch Valley, which means sunny days. With the spring equinox coming soon, we've already reached spring weather. This week is a perfect week to study outside.

Long term:

The current weather pattern will stick around until the weekend, when a cold front associated with a low pressure trough is expected to move through the area. This cold front will bring rain or snow to the valley, it's too early to make estimates on where it'll snow or rain. Next week should be colder than this week, so hopefully we will get some snow. 

Backcountry comments:
