Togwotee Pass

Wet loose and wet slab avalanches could become a potential hazard after temperatures warm and snow surfaces soften. The general avalanche hazard will be LOW in the early morning hours and will increase to MODERATE after significant warming has occurred. Shallow surface slabs up to a foot in depth could be human triggered on steep slopes and could steep down in areas with buried layers of weak faceted snow. Wet loose slides may occur to the ground on steep slopes where the snowpack is shallow and isothermal.

On Wednesday skies will be mostly sunny in the morning with isolated mountain snow showers in the afternoon. Temperatures will rise into the 30s and 40s from overnight lows near 20 degrees. Winds will be southerly at about five miles per hour.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW in the early morning hours and increase to MODERATE after snow surfaces soften. Wet slides are possible on very steep slopes after significant warming has occurred.
