The National Weather Service Forecasts-

TODAY...SUNNY. PATCHY FOG IN THE MORNING. HIGHS AROUND 50. LIGHT WINDS.

TONIGHT...MOSTLY CLEAR. LOWS AROUND 31. LIGHT WINDS.

SATURDAY...MOSTLY SUNNY. HIGHS AROUND 51. LIGHT WINDS.

We continue to see above freezing temps during the diurnal fluctuations of the day... we have been fortunate enough to see some moderate freezing again overnight...

This helps to add stability to the snowpack.

Todays diurnal warming will again bring the possibility of point release avalanches to the mountains. Primarily on the sunny south facing slopes.

Use caution on South to SW facing slopes later in the day.

Enjoy another beautiful day.

Melt Freeze Snow-

Snow Grains that have partially melted then frozen again.

Melt Freeze occurs when temperatures are above freezing during the day then below freezing again overnight.

As temperatures rise during the day, the frozen water between the grains melts, weakening the bonds. The snowpack will then refreeze and strengthen again overnight.
