This morning's air temperatures are inverted and therefor warmer at the higher elevations. Abundant sunshine, warmer temperatures and a dry air mass will cause snow surfaces to soften during the morning hours. Although the general avalanche hazard will be low at all elevations in the early morning hours the hazard may quickly increase to moderate at all elevations during the later morning hours. Wet slides are possible on steep slopes after significant softening of those surfaces has occurred. Monitor conditions and have a plan to exit avalanche terrain via a safe route before the wet snow avalanche hazard becomes dangerous. Cornice failures are possible and may trigger wet loose or wet slab avalanches if they fall onto steep slopes.
