At the low and mid elevations, it will be possible to trigger wet loose sluffs in the rain soaked snow, especially in the few inches of new snow sitting on the old wet snow. At the upper elevations, any "dry" new snow sluffs and slabs will rapidly turn wet when moving or when hit with the sun.
The bottom line for wet avalanches:
Get out early and get home early. Get off of--and out from underneath--any slope approaching 35 degrees or steeper when the snow becomes wet enough to not support your weight. Warning signs may include:
- Roller balls (pinwheels) in new snow that is getting wet for the first time
- Natural or human triggered wet sluffs
- Small sluffs fanning out into larger slides, or running long distances
- Punchy or collapsing crusts
Any of these signs mean it's time to head home, or at least change to an aspect with cooler snow or head to lower angle slopes. Remember, even "smaller" slides can be dangerous in high-consequence terrain, such as above a terrain trap, trees, rocks, cliffs or a long, large avalanche path.
Cornices and glide cracks continue to be a concern - avoid travel beneath the large, overhanging cornices and yawning glide cracks. Stay well back from the edge of the cornices traveling along the ridge lines.
