Wet loose avalanches will remain a problem until temperatures drop on Tuesday. An incoming storm on Wednesday will bring snow and wind. Lookout for building windslabs in exposed lee terrain.
The problem will be the most prevalent Wednesday near ridgecrests, as we are forecasted for new snow accompanied by moderate to high winds.
This problem will be the most prevalent during the beginning of the forecast period (Monday), as high temperatures continue, accompanied by rain.
No new avalanches, but recent observations have been limited.
This storm's precipitation will fall on top of snow, which is currently moist, but will begin to refreeze Tuesday. Under this, sits a thick crust, except on some north‑facing alpine slopes, where facets persist over the crust. The mid and lower snowpack are well settled with no notable weak layers.
