Avalanche Summary
You might find an isolated wind-drifted gully or steep easterly-facing slope below a cornice where you can trigger a small dry slab avalanche on Thursday morning.
As the day warms, snow surfaces may warm enough that you can push small loose avalanches. Increasing clouds and winds will limit the size and depth of these wet problems.
In both cases, avoid travel on or below large overhead cornices. If you choose to travel on slopes steeper than about 40 degrees, consider that even a small avalanche could be dangerous in consequential terrain above cliffs.
