A MODERATE avalanche danger exists for developing soft and hard slabs of wind drifted snow. These drifts will be most prevalent on west to north to east facing slopes. Wet loose avalanches will also become a problem with rain to 8000' this afternoon/evening. Cornices and roof avalanches will be increasingly dangerous.
I expect the avalanche danger to reach HIGH tonight into tomorrow with the storm.
