Kernpunkte
At the upper elevations small, isolated pockets of wind slab less than a foot in depth may have potential to be human triggered in very steep terrain. The general avalanche hazard is LOW and normal caution is advised as even a small slab avalanche can cause injury during these early season conditions. Avalanches are unlikely at the mid elevations and little snow exists at the lower elevations.
Avalanche Discussion
A low pressure trough is digging southward along the west coast. Winds will increase as this trough moves inland and the pressure gradient increases. Skies will be mostly clear in the morning with increasing clouds in the afternoon and evening. Mild temperatures are expected aloft as the flow backs towards the south. The shallow early season snowpack at the upper elevations is mostly stable and avalanches are unlikely. The general avalanche hazard is LOW. Normal caution is advised as even a small slab avalanche can cause serious injury due to the shallow snow cover.
