Rain continues to affect the snowpack. Greatest concern is for higher elevations where rain may fall on recent storm snow.
Wet avalanches remain possible as precipitiation continues.
Rain to mountain tops may trigger wet loose avalanches at upper elevations.
No new avalanches have been reported, but observations remain limited. Avalanches are most likely at higher elevations where rain may find drier snow to affect.
Expect to find rain soaked snow to the mountain top by the end of the day. The recent snow overlies a hard crust. The mid/lower snowpack is generally well settled and strong.
Average treeline snow depth is 70 to 175 cm, and the snowpack tapers rapidly with elevation.
