Low avalanche danger prevails, but be careful of naturally triggered wet snowslides

Low avalanche danger, but due to daytime warming, isolated, small naturally triggered wet-snow avalanches can be expected in steep terrain.

The old snowpack is generally stable. Due to warmth, the snowpack is becoming thoroughly wet.
