( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )A moist west flow ahead of an arctic cold front will bring widespread light snow to the mountains. This storm will favor the northern portions of our forecast region. Several inches of new snow are likely overnight. On Sunday skies will be cloudy with mountain snow showers. Temperatures will be in the single digits above zero.

New shallow winds slabs and pockets of older wind slab up to 18 inches in depth exist and could be human triggered. Mostly stable snow exists at the lower elevations where the general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW.
