Weather

We received nearly an inch of water Wednesday into Thursday, with freezing line around sea level. Moderate wind continued to load western aspects through Thursday. Wind quickly became northerly on Friday.

Expect dry weather to continue into Sunday. Backcountry users should be wary of isolated wind slabs at tree line and above. Precipitation looks to return through next week. Models suggest a half inch of water Monday. The avalanche hazard may increase then.
