FORECAST:
A weakening front will bring an increase in clouds today in a South Westerly flow aloft. The front is dissipating off the coast but still a chance of some showers this afternoon as it passes through. We may even see a sunny break as the moisture passes. The freezing level will hover in the 1800 meter range today. The upper ridge pushes back into the area on Friday but frontal systems to the North will send cloud our way as well. Unsettled weather for Friday and Saturday. Zonal flow will bring some precipitation to the area by Monday. Guesstimates: 0-1 mm by Friday morning.


AVALANCHE ACTIVITY:
On Wednesday, a natural widespread loose wet avalanche cycle up to size 1 was reported. I suspect there to be more activity with the associated intense warming.
On Tuesday afternoon numerous size 1-1.5 wet loose avalanches from steep south aspects were reported. A large natural avalanche size 2-2.5 from a north-facing alpine slope was also reported and likely occurred Monday night.
