ZONE AVALANCHE FORECASTS
* OLYMPICS, WASHINGTON CASCADES NEAR AND WEST OF THE
CREST-
Considerable avalanche danger above 5000 feet and
moderate below 5000 feet Saturday. Gradually decreasing
danger Saturday night and early Sunday becoming
considerable above 6000 feet and moderate below.
Further decreasing danger Sunday afternoon and night
becoming moderate below 7000 feet, with the greatest
danger persisting above 6000 feet on lee slopes.
SATURDAY, SATURDAY NIGHT
Decreasing snow showers further cooling and decreasing
winds are expected Saturday morning. Becoming partly to
mostly cloudy with light winds late Saturday and Saturday
night. Recent wind slab deposits should be slow to settle
under cool temperatures. This should make triggered slab
avalanches likely above about 5000 feet where backcountry
travelers should be increasingly cautious in steeper
terrain, avoiding any wind loaded slopes.
SUNDAY, SUNDAY NIGHT
Mainly high clouds light winds and continued cool
temperatures Sunday should allow for a further and slowly
decreasing danger. Some areas of wind slab may persist at
higher elevations where caution is still urged.
Backcountry travelers should continue to assess local
snowpack stabilities and use safe travel techniques.
