Recently formed wind drifts and wind slabs along the higher ridges is your main concern today. These formed over the last few days when the wind was blowing quite strong. They will be stabilizing but I wouldn't poke around at them yet today. These drifts and slabs will be most pronounced just below the ridges on northwest through southeast facing terrain in the upper elevations. If you avoid that terrain, the avalanche danger is much less.
