Central Cascades

Avalanches will be unlikely on Sunday. Remember that low danger does not mean no danger. It is always best to carry avalanche rescue gear and use safe travel practices. 

After a few consecutive days of warm, sunny days and cold, clear nights, Sunday is looking to be a bit of a change from that rhythm. While we should see another strong overnight re-freeze to the surface snow, cooler temperatures and cloudy afternoon skies will likely prevent  too much softening of snow surfaces. If you are to go seeking soft snow on Sunday, lower elevation slopes that have received solar input will be your best bet. Expect widespread firm slopes to start the morning, so if you chose to travel up steep snow surfaces, have the tools and skillset to arrest a long sliding fall. A return of high pressure by Tuesday should bring us back to our spring diurnal cycle by mid-week. Although lower elevation slopes are melting out quickly, upper mountain snow depths remain strong- just gotta work for it!
