Highlights

Abundant sunshine and very warm temperatures will combine to significantly increase the avalanche hazard during the day. Temperatures at 10,000 feet at 5 AM are about 10 degrees warmer then they were yesterday. The general avalanche hazard will be LOW in the early morning hours and will increase to CONSIDERABLE. Wet point slides are likely and DANGEROUS wet slab avalanches are possible on very steep slopes. Cornices could collapse and trigger deep wet slabs.
