The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE above an elevation of 9,000 feet and LOW below that elevation. Pockets of unstable snow persist at the upper elevations and could be triggered by the weight of a person. Avalanches are unlikely at the mid and lower elevations.
At the upper elevations pockets of wind slab one to two feet in depth could be human triggered in steep, wind loaded avalanche starting zones.
( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )A northwest flow aloft will continue to bring areas of mid and upper level cloud cover to Western, Wyoming. Valley fog is likely to develop overnight. Wednesday will be dry with partly to mostly cloudy skies. Temperatures will rise into the 20s from overnight lows in the single digits. Winds will be westerly at 10 to 15 miles per hour.Some potential persist at the upper elevations for humans to trigger surface slabs one to two feet in depth in steep, wind loaded avalanche starting zones. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be MODERATE at the upper elevations and LOW at the mid and lower elevations.
