How To Read This Forecast

• Use the model selector on the top bar to select other forecast types. Models ending in "NW" cover the northwest only and have an accuracy value, models not ending in NW cover the Western US and do not have an accuracy value.

• The current forecast is only interpretable in mountainous regions which overlapp existing forecast areas

  The current forecasts produced do not distinguish between mountainous and non-mountainous regions and produce uninterpretable results in non-mountainous regions. It's on the backlog to remove forecasts in areas which are uninterpretable.

  If accuracy ratings are provided they are only applicable against the existing Northwest Avalanche Center Forecast Regions.

• The avalanche danger scale is available here

• The V1 model has trained with data from the Northwest Avalanche Center (2013/2014 season through 2016/2017 season)

  Areas with no forecast but which are in mountainous regions likely lack Snotel data within a reasonable distance. The model currently depends on snotel data within 160kms to produce a forecast.
