With warm temperatures and a chance of rain, watch for wet and slushy snow surfaces. If you see roller balls and/or observe wet surface snow, be aware of small loose wet avalanches.
No recent avalanches have been reported.
Currently, the central Oregon snow pack is in good shape. We generally have a right side up snow pack structure. The deep and mid pack are strong. Any avalance problems will be related to surface conditions in the upper pack.
