The National Weather Service Forecasts-

TODAY...INCREASING CLOUDS. HIGHS AROUND 48. LIGHT WINDS BECOMING SOUTHWEST 10 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...MOSTLY CLOUDY. ISOLATED RAIN SHOWERS IN THE EVENING. LOWS AROUND 29. LIGHT WINDS.

TUESDAY...PARTLY CLOUDY. HIGHS AROUND 47. LIGHT WINDS.

TUESDAY NIGHT...MOSTLY CLOUDY. LOWS AROUND 33. LIGHT WINDS.

Temperatures touched on freezing last night at tram summit elevations for the first time in over a week.

Temperatures are expected to be warm again today.

This melt freeze is creating additional strength in the snowpack up high.

We may see some small point release avalanche activity today during the heat of the afternoon yet sizes are not expected to be of concern in the urban areas.

Tip:

Were getting close to the end of the urban avalanche forecasting season yet avalanches are still likely in the mountains at higher elevations for quite some time.

Look to see our season wrap up with some great summer time tips later this week...
