Strong southwest winds will form new surface slabs on slick old snow surfaces. These slabs are expected to build to depths of two feet and quickly become unstable as rapid loading occurs throughout the day. Human triggered avalanches are likely on steep slopes and small and medium sized natural avalanches are possible in steep avalanche prone terrain.
