Togwotee Pass

Light amounts of new snow, which could mix with rain to an elevation of 8500 feet, will fall on a springtime snowpack that is mostly stable. Avalanche activity today will be limited to isolated wet loose slides that could occur in very steep terrain at lower elevations where the snowpack is warm and weak or in steep cliff areas at higher elevations where small shallow soft slabs could carry consequences in no fall zones. Watch for unstable snow on isolated terrain features today.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Flow is turning back to the southwest. Winds have started to increases this evening and should have 15-20 mph averages through Monday. The chance for precipitation is on the increase and periods of snowfall(mixed with rain at the lower elevations) is to continue through Monday and into Tuesday morning. Snowfall amounts of one to two inches are expected through each twelve hour period at the upper elevations. High temperatures are to be in the low thirties at 9000 feet and into the forties in the valleys.The general avalanche hazard will be Low on Monday at all elevations. Low does not mean no hazards exists and very shallow dry wind slabs exist in high terrain and a chance for wet loose slides could develop in very warm areas of steep terrain as the snow surfaces softens.
