The day begins with a generally Low hazard, which will rise to Moderate as the day warms where wet, loose avalanches are possible on solar aspects as well as on all aspects at the lower elevations. Increasing westerly winds will create pockets of fresh wind drifts on upper elevation aspects facing north through southeast. Sluffing in the dry loose snow remains possible on steep northerly slopes at the mid and upper elevations. A very warm, wet, and windy storm will raise the avalanche hazard over the next few days. Human triggered avalanches remain possible in thinner snowpack areas or areas that have avalanched previously this winter. Extra caution is advised in this terrain.
