September sun on new snow and an elevated freezing level mean Loose Wet avalanches are possible during the heat of the day once the temperatures begin to warm the surface. This Loose Wet hazard is only likely to produce small avalanches in steep terrain however the consequence in the current snowpack could be bad. Thin high cloud often creates a 'greenhouse' effect increasing the surface temperature rapidly. Rollerballing is an indication that the surface is loosing cohesion so plan your travel accordingly.
