Avalanche Summary
The avalanche danger will persist on a wide range of slopes facing northwest through north, around to east, and southeast-facing. Slabs are slowly breaking down, but you could trigger an avalanche where you find a cohesive slab on top of weak snow near the ground, especially on wind-drifted terrain features near and above treeline. While most of these avalanches will be small, some could grow large enough to bury you on a larger connected slope.
Keep an eye out for small wet avalanches to spring up on steep, sunny slopes as conditions stay warm.
