Fresh snowfall, initially not much wind
Avalanche danger above 1400 m is MODERATE, below that altitude danger is LOW. Generally small-sized artificially or naturally triggered avalanches are possible in very-to-extremely steep terrain. Near ridgelines, a small slab can be triggered.
Cold, very loose fresh snow lies deposited atop a shallow, superficially loosely-packed old snowpack surface. During the course of the day, rising NW winds can generated thin snowdrift accumulations.
On Friday evening, snowfall of varying intensity, accumulating measurably by Saturday evening (20-30 cm possible). On Saturday the peaks will be wreathed in heavy cloud, orientation is made difficult through fog and snowfall. Winds will be light to moderate. At 1500 m: -9 degrees; at 2000 m: -13 degrees.
As winds intensify and additional snowfall arrives, fresh snowdrifts in ridgeline terrain will ratchet up the danger levels.
