Regions: Northwest Inland.

Forecasters have no current information in this region. If you are traveling in the back country, consider taking a few observations, and sharing them to the MIN

Confidence

Low - Due to the number and quality of field observations

Weather Forecast

A series of  Pacific storms will cross the north coast and move inland over then next 4 days with small amounts of precipitation.  Tuesday is forecast to bring the most moisture and should leave 5 to 15cm of snow at upper elevations. Dribs and drabs will follow on Wednesday.

Avalanche Summary

No avalanche activity has been reported in the forecast region

Snowpack Summary

In general, the early season snowpack is shallow and weak. The recent storm slabs are sitting on a mix of crusts and weak facetted crystals or surface hoar in some parts of the region. The southwest of the region sounds like it has the most snow, and probably the most wind with the new snow. We have some reports of a weak facetted base layer in the north of the region where recent temperatures were quite cold during the arctic outbreak. If you get out into the mountains, please submit your observations using the Mountain Information Network.

Avalanche Problems

Storm Slabs

Ridge top winds will continue to build storm and wind slabs
Avoid freshly wind loaded features.>Use ridges or ribs to avoid pockets of wind loaded snow.>Make observations and assess conditions continually as you travel. Now is a good time to dig a pit or two!>

Aspects: All aspects.

Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.

Likelihood: Possible - Likely

Expected Size: 1 - 2
