Quick report

Red Flags
Poor Snowpack Structure
Red Flags Comment
<p>The primary concern going into the series of storms over the next 72hrs is the existing weak surface snow, or the reluctance of storm snow to intially bond to it. 3-5mm surface hoar could also be found in sheltered areas on northelry aspects. Basal weakness have not been found to be a significant concern in the areas observed thus far. </p>

Coverage and snow line near Ben Lomond and Willard Peak.

3-5mm surface hoar found on upper elevation northerly aspect in a protected area.

Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Suspect increased wind slab potential over the next 24hrs with forecasted new snow and winds.</p>

Coverage remains shallow and highly aspect dependent at mid and upper elevations with little to now snow at low elevation.
