The temperature at the Campbell Scientific Logan Peak weather station is already a couple degrees above yesterday's high, and the forecast 46 degrees for 9000' will be around 10 degrees warmer than yesterday. Wet and heat-related avalanches will become possible as the day warms and as the saturated snow at lower elevations softens up. Avoid steep terrain with warmth softened and saturated snow today, watch for potential terrain traps below steep slopes, and plan on an early departure from the backcountry due to rapidly warming conditions.....

Be aware that today's rapid warming will also cause a general increase in avalanche danger...

• Isolated persistent slab avalanches up to around 2 feet deep, failing on weak sugary faceted snow are possible in outlying areas with shallow and poor snow structure. The added stress caused by increased creep rates of the upper layers might be enough to activate buried dormant weak layers in some areas, and warmth-caused softening of existing hard slabs could make human triggering easier. Although rather unlikely, dangerous triggered avalanches are certainly a possibility on isolated slopes. I've recently found poor snow structure mostly in shallow mid-elevation terrain, and it's more widespread in the eastern and northern reaches of the Logan Zone.
• You should continue to avoid steep drifted slopes. Stiff wind slabs from strong westerly winds over the weekend and Monday still exist in upper elevation lee terrain. In some cases these built on weak sugary or faceted snow and could be sensitive to your weight. Watch for and avoid stiffer wind deposited snow on the lee side of major ridges and in and around terrain features like sub-ridges, cliff bands, scoops, and gullies. Today's warmth will cause overhanging ridge-top cornices to buckle and sag, and some may naturally collapse. Cornices might break further back from the edge than expected, and cornice falls could trigger more dangerous slab avalanches on steep slopes below....
