Avalanche Forecast - Central Sierra Nevada
- Alpine: Moderate
- Treeline: Moderate
- Below Treeline: Moderate
<p>Warmer weather, decreased winds, and strong sun today mean that wet loose avalanches may be possible as the day warms up, especially on steep sunny slopes. If the snow feels mushy, or if you start sinking into boot-top-deep wet snow, consider moving away from avalanche terrain.</p>
