Highlights
Today the avalanche danger is LOW and avalanches are unlikely. HOWEVER, conditions can change quickly in the spring. Watch for any sudden change in the snowpack especially if it seems to rapidly become very wet and unsupportable. This sudden change means that the likelihood of wet avalanches is increasing.

Snow and Weather
Yesterday's high temperatures reached the upper 30s and low 40s F. Clouds began building yesterday afternoon and helped limit heating of the snowpack.
This morning, temperatures are hovering a few degrees either side of freezing. Southerly winds are blowing 5-15 mph.
Today mid and upper level clouds will provide some shading from the strong spring sunshine. Temperatures will warm into the upper 30s and low 40s F. Winds will continue from the south and be light in most areas. Looking ahead, Friday should have very warm weather ahead of a cold front arriving Friday night and bringing decent snowfall on Saturday.
The snow has been through several melt freeze cycles. It may be only barely refrozen this morning and will soften quickly this morning.
