FORECAST IS BASED ON INCIDENT TIME OF 0735 PDT ON APRIL 01.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TODAY. THE MAIN
CONCERN TODAY WILL BE INCREASING WINDS NEAR AND AT THE SUMMIT
LATE THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. THIS COULD CAUSE
EXISTING SNOW TO BLOW AND DRIFT CAUSING REDUCED VISIBILITY.
MODERATE TO STRONG WINDS REMAIN A CONCERN NEAR AT THE SUMMIT
TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. AT THE SAME TIME A STRONG FRONT WILL
RESULT IN INCREASING PRECIPITATION LATE TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT FRIDAY WILL NOT BE A GOOD DAY FOR
THE RECOVERY EFFORT.
