Today's new snow will be falling upon a snowpack that is settled and has been consolidated by repeated melt-freeze cycles. This snowpack is mostly stable and avalanches are unlikely. Monitor conditions for areas that may receive locally heavier amounts of new snow.
Avalanche Discussion
Snow showers are to continue into the night. Snowfall will be most consistent in the mountains of the southwest trails area. Snow showers are to taper off by noon on Tuesday. Additional accumulations of one to three inches are possible in the mountains with minimal accumulations at the lower elevations. Temperatures are to drop into the teens overnight at the higher elevations and into the twenties in the valleys. As skies clear tomorrow afternoon, temperatures are to reach the upper twenties in higher terrain and the upper thirties down low. The general avalanche danger will be Low on Tuesday. The new snowfall will bond to the mostly stable snowpack that has gone through several melt-freeze cycles. At the higher elevations, isolated pockets of wind slab and loose snow sloughs could still be triggered in cliff areas or in extreme terrain.
