Expires: 03/29/24 at 0559hrs

Rating:

LEVEL 1: UNRESTRICTED

Avalanche Forecast:

Avalanche activity above the road IS POSSIBLE. Resulting avalanche debris reaching the road grade is NOT EXPECTED.

Travel Advisory:

None for the time frame listed above.

Snowpack and Weather Summary:

Snowpack settlement rates have maintained an average of 1” per 24 hr. period over the past 72 hours. These rates will increase with additional light rain and above freezing daytime temperatures. In the short-term rain can act to decrease the snowpack strength, but in the long-term help to create a stronger more cohesive snowpack.

An active weather pattern will move through the area this week, with light precipitation expected each day. That precipitation will fall as rain during the day before transiting to snow each night. Gusty W-SW winds will accompany the precipitation in the afternoon on Wednesday March 27th and Thursday March 28th.
