The following message is transmitted at the request of the U.S.
Forest Service Sierra Avalanche Center.

The Sierra Avalanche Center in Truckee has issued a BACKCOUNTRY
AVALANCHE WARNING for the following areas:
NWS Reno NV - NVZ002 (Greater Lake Tahoe)...CAZ072 (Greater Lake Tahoe (CA))

* WHAT...HIGH avalanche danger exists in the backcountry. Avalanches are expected to occur Thursday and Thursday night across backcountry terrain.

* WHEN...In effect from Thu 05:00 PST to Fri 04:00 PST.

* IMPACTS...Rapidly accumulating snowfall and gale-force winds that blow and drift snow have created dangerous avalanche conditions in the mountains. Natural avalanches are likely, and human-triggered avalanches large enough to bury or injure people are very likely.

* PRECAUTIONARY / PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...Traveling in, near, or below backcountry avalanche terrain is not recommended during HIGH avalanche danger.

Consult https://www.sierraavalanchecenter.org/ or www.avalanche.org for more detailed information.

Similar avalanche danger may exist at locations outside the coverage area of this or any avalanche center.
