Avalanche danger may increase

The Glacier Country Avalanche Center rates avalanche danger as "considerable" at elevations between 5,500 and 7,500 feet in Northwest Montana.

On slopes below 5,500 feet, the danger is rated as moderate.

The center says that at higher elevations, human-triggered avalanches are probable on steep terrain.

With warm weather in the forecast for the weekend, those conditions could become more severe.
