The overall avalanche danger remains fairly LOW however there is a pockety MODERATE avalanche danger along the east facing high elevation terrain. Wind drifted snow is the main concern here. Sensitive pockets may be forming during the day. These will be small and not all that dangerous but be aware of them.

Current Conditions: The wind has cranked up and we're getting some snow. We are seeing gusts into the 50s along the high peaks. It looks like a few inches of snow accumulated overnight but it's hard to tell because the wind is really stirring things up. The new snow is dense. Temperatures are quite mild and have been increasing overnight. They are in the upper 20s at most locations.

Mountain Weather: Wind and snow is in the forecast today. The wind direction should shift around and blow from the northwest. It'll probably stay fairly breezy through the day. Anticipate periods of snow. The snow will be fairly dense. This is not a great storm for us and I think we'll be lucky if we end up with 6 inches of new snow. Temperatures should cool slightly but will remain in the mid 20s. The rain/snow line is up around 7000 to 7500 feet and will stay in that range today, perhaps dropping a bit later on. The storm clears out Sunday and we might see the sun poke through. We'll see periods of clouds through the work week with no real chance for snow.
