Mountains, Rico Mountains, Uncompahgre Plateau and Dallas Divide.
* AVALANCHE DANGER...Very dangerous avalanche conditions exist. The avalanche danger is HIGH (Level 4). Very large natural avalanches
are likely. We may see avalanches of historic size. These avalanches will be very destructive and may run to the valley bottoms.
* REASON...Rain, warm temperatures, and strong winds have raised the
avalanche danger to HIGH (Level 4) at multiple elevation bands. Avalanches will release naturally, and can run from high
elevations to the valley floors.
Instructions:
* PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...Travel in or below avalanche terrain is not recommended. Give avalanche paths a wide berth. Avalanches may run further into the valleys than you might think.
