This morning, the overall avalanche danger is MODERATE but will rise to CONSIDERABLE on most slopes as the storm develops. The elevated winds may create unstable slabs of wind-drifted snow at mid and upper elevations. Be particularly cautious on west to north to southeast-facing terrain, as a now-buried weak surface layer could cause any avalanche triggered within the wind-drifted snow to step down deeper into the snowpack. Additionally, today’s new snow may produce long-running sluffs.
The danger may spike to HIGH during or after periods of heavy snowfall within the upcoming days. Pay attention to changing weather patterns; the danger will rise sooner than anticipated if the storm comes in sooner than anticipated.
