Snow SUN Night - MON

Avalanche Watch - North Idaho

Another round of snow showers developing over Central WA Sunday night into Monday will lead to winter travel conditions over the Cascade passes.

An Avalanche Watch is in effect from Sunday 7 PM PST to Monday 4 PM PST. Very dangerous avalanche conditions are likely to develop by Monday afternoon and raise the danger to High (Level 4 of 5). Areas included are: the Selkirk, West and East Cabinet, Purcell, and Bitterroot Mountains - Silver Valley above 4,000 feet. A warm, wet storm will deliver moderate to heavy snowfall to the snowpack. The new snowfall may add enough weight to the snowpack to overload fragile weak snow layers and cause a widespread cycle of avalanches large enough to bury, injure, or kill a person. Some of these avalanches could release naturally, propagate widely across terrain features like ridges, and run long distances into mature forests, valley floors, or flat terrain. It will become very easy for backcountry travelers to trigger them. Travel in or below avalanche terrain is not recommended during this period.
