The daily seasonal spring rhythm will be less pronounced over the next few days. Watch for isolated increasing hazard with prolonged solar effect.
Weather Forecast
A large, dry High pressure system is centered over the Rockies. A weak system, approaching from the North is forecast to bring light precipitation. Rain/snow showers are possible, more in front ranges east of the region but some isolated convection remains possible for Sunday afternoon. Freezing levels will continue to fall slowly until Tuesday.
Snowpack Summary
Upper snowpack at TL and below (and alpine solar aspects) have transitioned through a series of deep penetrating and, consistent melt freeze cycles. This seasonal spring rhythm will be less pronounced over the next few days. For now, surface instabilities like wet loose are possible but limited to immediate southern aspects.
Problems
Loose Wet
Loose Wet avalanches are the release of wet unconsolidated snow or slush. These avalanches typically occur within layers of wet snow near the surface of the snowpack, but they may quickly gouge into lower snowpack layers. Like Loose Dry Avalanches, they start at a point and entrain snow as they move downhill, forming a fan-shaped avalanche. Other names for loose-wet avalanches include point-release avalanches or sluffs. Loose Wet avalanches can trigger slab avalanches that break into deeper snow layers.
