Regions: Glacier.

Warm temperatures and incoming precipitation means rain at lower elevations.  Avalanche hazard will increase as freezing levels climb to mountain top levels tomorrow.

Weather Forecast

Light precipitation today.  Freezing levels are set to climb tomorrow with incoming warm air. 

Today: Cloudy with flurries,  4cm/ rain at low elevations, Alpine temp 1.0, wind SW 25-40km/h, freezing level 2300m

Tonight: Wet flurries, 6cm, low of 0.0, wind SW 30, FL 2200m

Snowpack Summary

The snowpack has undergone numerous melt-freeze cycles resulting in several crusts in the upper snowpack on all but high (>2400m) N aspects, where one can still find loose, dry snow. Check out this link for more info on spring conditions.

Avalanche Summary

A size 2.5 cornice triggered avalanche was observed in the highway corridor on the north side of Mt Macdonald.  Several low elevation glide releases occurred within the last 48hrs.
