Light snow will exit the area Monday night and a brief ridge will give broken clouds until late Tuesday morning when a moist southwest flow ahead of another system will bring snow again. Snow totals by Tuesday evening will be in the 3 to 5 inch range and will continue Tuesday night. Mountain temperatures will climb from five degrees tomorrow morning to the low twenties during the day. Winds will be south to southwesterly at fifteen to twenty mph.AVALANCHE HAZARD FORECAST FOR THE TETON, TOGWOTEE PASS, AND SOUTHWEST TRAILS AREAS:The general avalanche hazard will increase to MODERATE at Upper elevations by tomorrow afternoon with new snow and wind.
