The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) is forecasting rain and cloudy skies at the foot of the mountain, with thunderstorms in some areas until early afternoon, due to the expected influence of moist and cold air.

Travel and Terrain Advice

Beware of storm slabs on steep slopes. There are numerous exposed "terrain traps" such as rocks and gullies that can cause even small avalanches to do more damage. Snowfall is forecast to continue. Please act with caution to watch for new snowfall and wind effects.
