Highlights

The general avalanche hazard is LOW. At the upper elevations isolated pockets of shallow wind slab could present a hazard to people who venture into cliff areas. Some potential may remain for humans to trigger a pocket of dense slab up to two feet deep on northerly aspects in extreme terrain. Avalanches are unlikely elsewhere.

Avalanche Discussion

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Dry weather will continue through Monday with morning low temperatures in the low teens then warming during the day into the mid 20s. Valley inversions will hold with morning temperatures dropping to near zero and warming into the mid teens. Winds at the ridge tops will be southwesterly to south at 10 miles per hour.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW. Mostly stable snow exists and avalanches are unlikely. Caution is advised in cliff areas and extreme terrain.
