NWAC has issued a special avalanche warning for the Mt. Hood area on April 24.
What is NWAC?
The Northwest Avalanche Center (NWAC) is a collaborative effort between the US Forest Service Northwest Weather and Avalanche Center and the non-profit Friends of the Northwest Weather and Avalanche Center. The mission of NWAC is to save lives and reduce the impacts of avalanches on recreation, industry and transportation in the Cascade and Olympic Mountains of Washington and northern Oregon through mountain weather and avalanche forecasting, data collection and education.
NWAC typically ceases daily forecasts in early to mid-April each year. However, they will issue special forecasts when there are unusually hazardous spring avalanche conditions predicted.
