Regions: Olympics.

At higher elevations that hold enough snow to avalanche, increasing avalanche danger is expected Tuesday due to new snow and wind. Due to early season conditions, small avalanches have a greater potential for injury due to exposed rocks and vegetation. 

Discussion

Discussion 

Low snow conditions continue to limit the overall avalanche hazard in the Olympics. However, at higher elevations, a strong storm will increase the avalanche hazard quickly on Tuesday.  

Forecast schedule

For the 2018-19 winter season, avalanche hazard ratings will be issued for the Olympics Friday through Sunday and during holidays.

On days that the Hurricane Ridge road is closed, No Rating will be applied. We will continue to provide general snowpack and weather summaries for the Hurricane Ridge area even when No Rating is issued.
