Avalanche danger
Highlights
Temperatures have been near or above freezing for an extended period. This has created extensive areas of weak, wet unconsolidated snow. The potential for wet slides to occur will increase as the day warms. Wet loose and wet slab avalanches are possible in cliff areas and in steep terrain at all elevations. Once initiated these wet slides can increase in size. Stay off and out from under steep slopes in areas where snow surfaces are wet and unconsolidated.
Avalanche Discussion
Unsettled conditions are likely to continue with mostly cloudy skies and some scattered snow and rain showers. Temperatures will drop into the upper 20s and low 30s overnight. Daytime highs will again rise into the 30s, 40s, and 50s. Warm conditions will keep the wet snow avalanche hazard going in steep terrain at all elevations. Wet loose and wet slab avalanches are possible after snow surfaces soften. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be MODERATE. Monitor conditions and avoid steep slopes if snow surfaces are wet and unconsolidated.
