Tetons

The snowpack is mostly stable and avalanches are unlikely. However, low hazard does not mean there is no hazard. In areas where significant warming and rain occurs some potential may develop for wet slides activity in isolated areas on steep snow covered slopes. At the upper elevations southwest winds may form isolated pockets of new soft slab up to six inches in depth in some avalanche starting zones during the afternoon hours.

Snow shower activity will be widespread overnight as an upper level trough and cold front moves through. Accumulations of two to four inches are likely at the higher elevations by morning. On Thursday skies will be mostly cloudy with scattered snow showers. Accumulations of an inch are expected. Temperatures will rise from overnight lows in the 20s into the 30s in the mountains and into the 40s in the valleys. Winds will be southwest to west at 15 to 20 miles per hour. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW. At the upper elevations new loose snow sluffs and isolated pockets of new soft slab up to eight inches in depth could be human triggered in steep avalanche starting zones. Avalanches are unlikely at the mid and lower elevations.
