Wet loose slides are possible on steep slopes with areas of wet unconsolidated snow. These slides could step down into deeper layers or to the ground.

Highlights
The hazard from wet loose and wet slab avalanches persist on steep snow covered slopes. Wet snow on or beneath the snow surface is an indicator of dangerous conditions where avalanche terrain should be avoided.

Dangerous wet slab avalanches are possible on steep slopes. These slabs could be triggered by humans or wet loose slides and could involve the full depth of the snowpack.
Avalanche Discussion
( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Moisture will move into the region overnight with showers developing after midnight. Snow is expected to begin before dawn above an elevation of 9,500 feet and drop to an elevation of 7,000 feet by evening. This snowfall is forecast to be heaviest during the morning hours. A total of six inches of new snow accumulation is possible at the highest elevations by evening. Winds will be southwest to west at 15 to 25 with gusts increasing to 40 miles per hour by evening along the higher ridge crest. Temperatures will be in the upper 20s and 30s in the mountains and in the 30s and 40s in the valleys. Cooler temperatures will decrease the potential for wet snow avalanches however some hazard will persist on very steep slopes where loose unconsolidated snow remains wet. At the upper elevations strong winds will begin to create isolated pockets of new soft slab. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW.
