After Thursday's storm, temperatures warmed Friday in typical Spring fashion with east, south and west aspects becoming damp by mid day. Intermittent cloud cover did help the sunny aspects from becoming too wet and unstable. Overnight, temperatures were in the mid to upper 20s and southerly winds have increased a bit.

The wind slabs that were sensitive during the storm became less so on Friday but there were a few that were triggered by skiers including one that caught and carried a skier a short distance without incident. (DETAILS - MINERAL FORK) The heating during the day also produced a couple of heat initiated avalanches. (DETAILS - W MONITOR) Overall, things were fairly well behaved.

Expect warm and windy conditions today with some cloud cover. 8000 foot temperatures should be around 40 and in the 30s along the ridges. Southwest winds should increase in speed a bit more into the moderate category with some stronger gusts. The next storm is still shaping up for Sunday with a cold front moving through during the morning or mid day and snowfall lasting into Sunday night. We could see up to around a foot of snow. More periods of snow are anticipated through next week.
