Current Conditions
There's been just a dusting of new snow overnight. Southwest wind has been blowing strong overnight. This has no doubt drifted snow and will enhance the avalanche danger. Overnight temperatures stayed mild with most stations hovering in the upper 20s.
Mountain Weather
A storm is on our doorstep and the first part of it will move through today although it looks a little weaker to me today than it did yesterday. We should see snow during the day especially later this morning and afternoon with flurries lingering into tonight. Southwest wind should slow during the day and temperatures will drop into the teens by late afternoon. I'm thinking 4 to 7 inches is a decent amount to expect. The next part of the system moves through Tuesday night and Wednesday. I'm currently anticipating 6 to 8 inches out of that impulse.
A couple more small natural avalanches were spotted that released during the tail end of last week's storm. This was a northeast facing slope in Pleasant Creek. These little guys are just another indicator of the weak snow that formed over the last month and is now buried. With more snow this week, these avalanches will get big enough to become a serious concern.
