Impacts:
There is a high chance that a person or machine could
trigger an avalanche today. Natural avalanches will also be
possible. If the sun comes out this afternoon, we strongly
suggest you resist the temptation to travel on or below slopes
over 30 degrees. Avalanches may be triggered remotely from flat
terrain below steeper slopes.
* PRECAUTIONARY / PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... If deciding to recreate
in the backcountry, choose terrain that is less than 30 degrees
in steepness, with nothing steeper above you. Cautious route-
finding and conservative decision-making skills will be
necessary to identify and avoid slopes that could avalanche.
Similar avalanche danger may exist at locations outside the
coverage area of this or any avalanche center.

The combination of dry fuels, gusty southwest to west winds, and
low relative humidity of about 20-30% this afternoon into the
