The National Weather Service Forecasts-

TODAY...SNOW...MIXED WITH RAIN IN THE AFTERNOON. SNOW ACCUMULATION UP TO 1 INCH. HIGHS AROUND 37. LIGHT WINDS.

TONIGHT...MOSTLY CLOUDY. CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW. LOWS AROUND 30. LIGHT WINDS.

WEDNESDAY...CHANCE OF RAIN IN THE MORNING...THEN RAIN IN THE
AFTERNOON. SNOW LEVEL 1300 FEET IN THE AFTERNOON. HIGHS AROUND
38. SOUTHEAST WIND 10 TO 15 MPH.

Temperatures are very near to freezing at the Mt Roberts Tram Summit. They are even colder at the Eaglcrest Summit at about -3c. This is once again locking up the upper snowpack that was quite wet and above freezing for over a week.

We received a few inches of wet snow up high in the last few days that my clean itself off of trees and rocks. This may start a few small point release wet slides as it does.

Winds have been in the 10-15mph range for the last few hours.

Look to see small windloaded pockets near summit and ridgeline in wind exposed areas. These small pockets may be trigger sensative. With exception to that the avalanche danger is LOW at this time.

Natural avalanches very unlikely. Human triggered avalanches unlikely with the exception of those windloaded pockets that should be quite small should they occur.

During the diurnal fluctuation this afternoon during the heat of the day we may see some small activity as this new snow cleans itself off of trees and rocks in steep open areas. This activity should be small.

Have a great day.
