Avalanche Warning
Northwest Avalanche Center
Relayed by National Weather Service Portland OR
653 PM PDT Thu Mar 12 2026

The following message is transmitted at the request of the
Northwest Avalanche Center.

...The Northwest Avalanche Center in Seattle has issued an
Avalanche Warning...

* WHAT...A very dangerous natural avalanche cycle continues as heavy
  precipitation, rising snow levels, and extreme winds impact the
  region. Very large natural avalanches are likely and may run long
  distances into low-elevation canyon runouts.

* WHERE...Areas near Mt Hood.

* WHEN...In effect from Thu 18:30 PDT to Fri 18:30 PDT.

* IMPACTS...Very large natural avalanches are expected. These will
  be more than enough to bury, injure, and kill backcountry
  travelers.

* PRECAUTIONARY / PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...Avoid all areas where
  avalanches can start, run, or stop. This includes steep alpine
  slopes, sparsely forested slopes, and winding canyong runouts with
  small trees.

Consult https://www.nwac.us/ 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.
