Temperatures will begin to fall tonight with a morning low around -18. Despite the overnight plummet, daytime highs will quickly rise to -6 by mid afternoon. Winds will also taper tonight with only light winds at treeline for tomorrow. Skies will be a mix of sun and cloud with no snow expected.
We saw numerous loose wet avalanches up to sz 2 today. Some were on steep alpine solar aspects, but the majority were low elevation dribblers.
Temperatures have been above zero for a long time now. Expect moist snow up to 2100m, and possibly higher on solar aspects. After tonight's cooling, expect a crust in valley bottoms. Beyond that, there has been little change to the treeline and alpine snowpacks. Widespread windslabs on all aspects.
