The UAC staff has
published a blog with answers to the numerous questions we received but were not able to answer during the Q & A session for the
online meeting regarding the Wilson Glades February, 6 accident.
Skies are clear and there is a temperature inversion, with low-elevation trailheads in the low 20's F, while the mid and upper elevations bask in the upper 20's and low 30's F. Winds are light - less than 10 mph - with gusts in the teens atop Mount Ogden. It sure felt like winter a week ago.
For today, expect continued Spring weather with clear skies and plenty of sunshine. Temperatures will rise well into the 30's and southerly winds will remain light. Warm and very breezy conditions Saturday with a weak, dry cold front Saturday afternoon. Warm temperatures will continue Sunday and Monday, with promising signs for a return to unsettled weather by perhaps Tuesday.
Minor wet-loose activity was noted on Thursday in the Ogden mountains. Further south in the Salt Lake mountains,
one party in the Y-Not Couloir - a steep, north-facing couloir in Little Cottonwood Canyon - experienced wet activity that funneled down through tight portions of the chute. This occurred mid-day and was possibly due to some greenhousing where the clouds trapped heat.
