A Great Warming

Currently temperatures at upper elevations in the central Wasatch are in the teens, but that will be changing rapidly through tomorrow as temperatures climb with the approach of an upper-level ridge.  

Our GFS-derived forecast guidance for Little Cottonwood Canyon shows temperatures on Mt. Baldy (11,000') climbing from the low teens this morning to 40˚F by tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon!

Free atmosphere 700-mb (10,000 ft) temperatures reach 6˚C by late tomorrow as well.  Balmy.  

Be aware of this change if you will be ski touring today or tomorrow, especially on south aspects today and all but high north tomorrow.
