The avalanche danger is generally LOW this morning but will rise to MODERATE today for wet snow avalanches on sun exposed slopes. The danger will develop first on east facing slopes followed by south, and then west. Low elevation, northerly aspects are also susceptible. Roller balls, pinwheels, and loose snow sluffs are signs of instability. Work with the sun, and get off of steep slopes as they become wet and sloppy. There also remains an isolated danger for triggering a wind slab, or an avalanche on a buried, persistent weak layer on steep, upper elevation slopes facing NW-N-E.
