Watch for signs that the supportive surface crust is breaking down with daytime warming. When this occurs be well away from avalanche terrain.
Weather Forecast
There will be some overnight recovery tonight offering stability to the morning snowpack. A mix of sun and cloud for Wednesday with daytime highs in the alpine of close to zero centigrade. Some light precipitation is forecast overnight on Wednesday and Thursday morning with freezing levels of close to 1900m below which expect rain.
Snowpack Summary
The snowpack is isothermal at treeline and below on all aspects (and into the alpine on solar) - the upper snowpack in these areas has undergone multiple melt-freeze cycles, a strong crust in the morning will weaken with solar input/daytime warming. On north facing alpine slopes up to 15cm of settled storm snow overlies previous old dry surfaces.
Confidence
Intensity of incoming weather systems is uncertain on Thursday
Problems
Loose Wet
Loose Wet avalanches are the release of wet unconsolidated snow or slush. These avalanches typically occur within layers of wet snow near the surface of the snowpack, but they may quickly gouge into lower snowpack layers. Like Loose Dry Avalanches, they start at a point and entrain snow as they move downhill, forming a fan-shaped avalanche. Other names for loose-wet avalanches include point-release avalanches or sluffs. Loose Wet avalanches can trigger slab avalanches that break into deeper snow layers.
