At the mid and upper elevations isolated pockets of new soft slab and older, hard slabs could be human triggered in steep terrain and cliff areas. At the lower elevations areas of isothermal snow present some potential for wet slides to be human triggered in steep terrain.
Strong southwest winds have formed isolated pockets of shallow, soft slab less than a foot deep in upper elevation starting zones and cliff areas. Older, denser slabs one to two feet in depth lie upon crusts and faceted snow. These slabs could be human triggered in steep terrain at the mid and upper elevations.
Clearing skies are expected overnight with areas of patchy valley fog and low clouds in the morning. Skies will be mostly sunny with a few high clouds on Wednesday. Temperatures are forecast to drop into the mid-teens by daybreak and rise into the 30s during the day. Light winds will veer to the north and then back towards the west.Some potential may persist for humans to triggered dense slab avalanches up to two feet in depth in isolated areas at the mid and upper elevations. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be MODERATE.
