The National Weather Service Forecasts-

TODAY...PATCHY FOG EARLY IN THE MORNING. RAIN SHOWERS. HIGHS
AROUND 41. NORTHEAST WIND 10 TO 15 MPH SHIFTING TO THE EAST IN THE AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...RAIN SHOWERS. LOWS AROUND 35. SOUTHEAST WIND 10 TO
15 MPH.

THURSDAY...RAIN SHOWERS. HIGHS AROUND 36. EAST WIND 10 TO 15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT...MOSTLY CLOUDY. SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS AND SNOW SHOWERS. LOWS AROUND 32. EAST WIND 10 MPH.

Temperatures have remained quite warm with the Eaglecrest Base holding at 36f-38f for several days. The Tram summit has been hovering from 35f to 38f and even hit 40f for a period of time. The Eaglecrest summit is holding at 34f at this time.

Winds remain moderate at around 10-15mph.

We have received about 1/5\" of precipitation in the last 24 hours and closer to an inch in the last 48 hours. Precipitation rates have fallen off a great deal. The forecast is calling for around another 1/4\" of precipitation today with an increasing trend and closer to 1\" of precipitation in the forecast for tomorrow.

Temperatures should fall by 6f+ degrees tonight and stay cool tomorrow. This should turn most of this rain to snow especially at upper elevations.

With precip rates having diminished over the last 24 hours and not much in the forecast for today avalanche danger is LOW. Natural Avalanches are unlikely and human triggered avalanches are also unlikely.

With precip rates increasing tonight and snow coming back into our forecast for upper elevations tonight and tomorrow look to see danger levels increasing over the next 24-48 hours.
