What a mess of conditions today! Mostly the snow is wet making wet avalanches the main problem today. There is also a buried persistent weak layer in places that hasn't gone away. This layer is likely wet and will remain unstable until it gets totally saturated or refreezes.
The avalanche danger is MODERATE at all elevations and aspects because avalanches remain possible. Wet snow under these conditions is not as predictable as it is when we are under an normal cycle of melting and refreezing. The snow did not refreeze overnight and has a weak layer of facets in some places. Personally, I'd just avoid all avalanche terrain today because there's a lot of risk and uncertainty but little reward.
