The General Avalanche Hazard is MODERATE at Upper elevations this morning and will rise to CONSIDERABLE by mid afternoon. The Hazard is MODERATE at Mid elevations and LOW at Lower elevations. Strong winds have moved available snow from Sunday's storm into pockets of sensitive slabs on lee slopes at upper elevations. Forecasted snow and high winds will rapidly increase the size and distribution of the slabs. Below 7,500 feet a shallow, early season snowpack exists and avalanches are unlikely.

Light snow will continue tonight and Wednesday morning with mountain lows in the teens. The flow from the southwest will move to the south of the region cutting off accumulating snow by Wednesday evening. Total snowfall will range from 3 to 6 inches by Wednesday afternoon and the mountains will see high temperatures in the mid twenties. The Togwotee Pass and Greys River areas will receive less snow.The General Avalanche Hazard is expected to be MODERATE Wednesday morning. Pockets of sensitive slabs to ten inches in depth on lee slopes near ridgecrests could be triggered. Deeper, dangerous slides running on buried weak layers will continue to be possible.
