  Over the past several days a spring time isothermal cycle has produced numerous wet slab avalanches up to Class 3  on solar aspects in the afternoon.

The highest likelihood for deep wet slabs is from daytime warming on solar aspects, or from periods of rain, especially from thin areas where slabs overly facets or depth hoar.
Shallow snowpack areas hold weak mid and lower layers. These areas will be more susceptible to failure with heating but have failed with large loads (such as cornices or loose avalanches) acting as the trigger.
The new snow over the last week is now becoming rain soaked and moist. As the surface layers become weak, rain or sunshine could trigger wet slabs, especially on steeper slopes.

The cold temps with the cold front should tighten in the lower elevation instabilities. Watch for overhead hazards and avoid large run-out zones.
Today there were many more loose wet and wet slab avalanches as the freezing level rose and there was less overnight freeze. Timing is critical to travel while crusts are intact and remember what may be happening in the sun above you.
  Over the past several days a spring time isothermal cycle has produced numerous wet slab avalanches up to Class 3  on solar aspects in the afternoon.
Wet snow slab avalanches are still a concern with day time heating. Moist snow under the crusts means that any slide triggered has the potential to step down to ground. Large avalanches are still possible. See forecast details.

  This will be more prevalent at lower elevations due to lack of freeze, but if the sun pops out Saturday, there is the potential for deeper releases as the day warms up.  Cornices will act as an ideal trigger.
The highest likelihood for deep wet slabs is from daytime warming on solar aspects,  especially from thin areas where slabs overly facets or depth hoar.

With cooling temperatures this condition will stabilize. Rain and solar exposure will increase the danger. Weather conditions will be variable across the region. Snowballing and pin wheels should be regarded as signs of deteriorating conditions.
Overnight and continued rain below 1100m will weaken the upper snowpack. These conditions are dangerous in any steep terrain even if heavily forested. These avalanches will be slow moving but very heavy and difficult to manoeuvre out of.
Rain to at least 1900m has weakened the upper snowpack and is likely to be saturated at the lower elevations.
The snowpack is waterlogged Below Treeline. Wet slabs remain a possibility for Sunday: water in the snowpack has pooled above several midpack crusts.  These may act as failure plane.  Dig to look for the ingredients: wet layers below a drier slab.
