Discussion: | The National Weather Service Forecasts- TODAY...SUNNY. HIGHS AROUND 52. SOUTHEAST WIND 5 MPH WITH TONIGHT...INCREASING CLOUDS. LOWS AROUND 32. LIGHT WINDS MONDAY...CLOUDY. CHANCE OF RAIN. HIGHS AROUND 48. NORTHEAST WIND 5 MPH. With daytime high tepms continuing to increase around the region under direct sunlight avalanche danger is Moderate today. Stability is good during the cool mornings. Natural avalanches become likely during the heat of the day and into the evening as daytime temps take affect under direct sunlight which will weaken the snowpack on South to SW facing slopes later in the day. Get out early and enjoy the day. Later in the day look for lower angle slopes away from cliffs and terrain traps. Choose shaded slopes later in the day to find more stability. Enjoy a beautiful day out there. |
Tip: | Runout Zone: The portion of an avalanche path where the debris typically comes to rest. |
