A scary MODERATE DANGER exists for triggering an avalanche 2-5' deep on steep northwest to east facing slopes of the mid and upper elevations. Avoid steep, thin, rocky terrain. A more widespread and tricky MODERATE danger exists for wind drifts on a variety of aspects and elevations. Lastly - and I can't believe I'm saying this - wet loose sluffs may also be triggered in warm, wind sheltered terrain and may pile up more deeply in terrain traps.
Strange weather causes strange avalanches.
