70 PERCENT.

FRIDAY...CLOUDY. A CHANCE OF RAIN IN THE MORNING...THEN RAIN LIKELY IN THE AFTERNOON. HIGHS AROUND 43. EAST WIND 15 MPH IN THE MORNING BECOMING LIGHT AND VARIABLE. CHANCE OF RAIN 60 PERCENT.

With several inches of new snow in the last 24 hours up high accompanied by todays warmer temperatures natural avalanches are possible which places todays danger at Considerable.

Slides would likely not be large yet small surface sluffs are possible in places. In steep open areas this has the potential to accumulate quite a bit more snow during the slide.

If we should see much direct sunlight or heavy rains the danger level may rise.

Tip:

Looking forward to a few more weekends up enjoying EAGLECREST!!! With lots of snow on the mountain and long days now is the time to get out and enjoy... See you up there this weekend..
