Last night's low temperatures did not drop below 40°F, even on the highest mountain tops, but radiation heat loss from clear skies likely created a thin, superficial crust on the snow surface. Crusts will quickly soften up in the hot sun this morning, and the melt from skyrocketing temperatures will percolate into the winter snowpack, saturating and loosening the snow, elevating the danger of wet avalanches on steep slopes. Today, wet avalanches are possible, especially on sunny slopes, and if you are sinking into wet snow above your ankles, it's time to move to shadier or lower-angle terrain. Snow has completely melted off most terrain below about 7000 feet in the Logan Zone, except for north-facing slopes in the Northern Bear River Range.

The UAC Card Canyon weather station at 8700 feet reports a toasty 43°F and 56 inches of total snow. It's a warm 46°F at the Tony Grove Snotel at 8400', with 65 inches of total snow. At 9700 feet on Logan Peak, winds are blowing from the west-northwest at 35 mph, gusting to 44 mph. At 0600, it's already 41°F on Paris Peak at 9500 feet! The Winds are from the west-southwest, 22 to 33 mph. Mountain top temperatures will climb to the mid 50s°F this afternoon, while temperatures in Cache Valley will easily surpass 70°F. Tonight, mountain temperatures will remain well above freezing again, and tomorrow they will rise yet another notch. Temperatures at the highest elevations in the Bear River Range will rise to around 60° F, and the avalanche danger will continue to increase as well.

Temps at the 8400' Tony Grove Snotel are hovering a few degrees below 50°F this morning.
