Avalanche Discussion
( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )The weather system that increased cloud cover and ridgetop winds during the day on Saturday will bring the chance for mountain snow and valley rain overnight. One to three inches of new snow could accumulate by Sunday morning before the quick moving system exits to the east and skies begin to clear. Overnight lows in the mountains will be near 20 before rising to around 30 during the day. Westerly ridgetop winds will be strong overnight at 25 to 35 miles per hour before decreasing during the day at 15 to 20.The general avalanche hazard below 10,500 feet is expected to be LOW on Sunday. The few inches of new snow called for overnight will fall onto a mostly stable snowpack. Shallow wet slides will become possible if surfaces crusts break down on upper elevation, sunlit aspects.
