Little to no freeze may have occurred last night due to above freezing overnight temperatures and overnight cloud cover. Warm weather today and a chance for light rain this afternoon should melt whatever refreeze did occur and loose wet avalanche activity will become possible again today. Loose wet instability should continue through the night as rain continues to fall. Rising snow levels may also allow rain to fall on small amounts of new snow in areas above 8000 ft. Wet snow instabilities could include pinwheels, rollerballs, and loose wet avalanches. Some of the loose wet avalanches could involve enough snow to injure a person. Loose wet instabilities could form on any aspect today and tonight.
Rain on snow (especially new snow), boot-top-deep wet snow, active roller balls or pinwheels, and other loose wet avalanches can indicate increasing wet snow instability. Once signs of wet snow exist, move lower angle slopes or call it a day.
