Highlights

The 5 AM air temperatures are near freezing and snow surfaces are expected to soften early. Wet slides are possible during the warmest portion of the day and pose a hazard to people who venture onto to very steep slopes and into cliff areas. Limited snow exist below an elevation of 7,000 feet.
