Southerly winds associated with an Atmospheric River event have been on the increase since yesterday afternoon and are currently blowing moderate to strong along ridge tops. Unfortunately for us, that's all we're going to see as the action stays well to the north. Today look for partly sunny skies, warm temperatures in the mid to upper 30's, and continued breezy conditions. Sunday will be mostly sunny, breezy and even warmer. The second wave of this system already looks to be weakening as a it moves south along the West Coast on Tuesday. As a result, our chances for snow next week have diminished.

It's no secret that our snowpack is thin, variable, and very weak in many areas. Winds first from the north, and now the south have been transporting and drifting loose surface snow into isolated cohesive slabs. We may find them to be a little more widespread today, primarily on northerly aspects near treeline. Above treeline, they'll be more isolated due to the overall wind scoured nature of things up there. On shady aspects below treeline, the entire snowpack consists of loose, non-cohesive, faceted snow. Small, loose dry avalanches are possible in steep terrain. Looking ahead, this weak faceted snow will make an unstable base for future snow loads. It's still low tide out there and the weakening snowpack makes hitting buried obstacles more likely so be careful out there.
