The weather service said the avalanche danger “was high in all areas” in the warning. The warning will go into effect at 4 p.m. and last through 7 a.m. Thursday.
Forecasters said the avalanche hazard would rise during the day Tuesday as snow rates were predicted to approach three inches per hour later Tuesday afternoon and evening.
