Wet avalanches will be increasingly possible with direct sun and warming temperatures. Look for the tell-tale signs and pre-cursors of wet avalanches (pinwheels, rollerballs, etc) and you'll want to avoid being on or beneath steep sun-effected terrain when the snow becomes wet, unsupportable and unstable. Remember that wet debris sets up like concrete and wet slides are often more difficult to escape once you're caught up in the cement mixer.

A storm passing to the north of us has kick-started some winds along the highest ridgelines and there is snow available for transport. The winds should be increasing as the day wears on. Most of the drifting will be on north to east to south facing aspects, but terrain channeling and eddying has a way of occasionally placing drifts around the compass. These soft slabs should be easy to recognize by their rounded appearance and should crack out with provocation.
