Last nights storm brought 4 to 10 inches of new snow to portions of the forecast area. Human triggered slab avalanches are possible in steep avalanche prone terrain. Evaluate snow and terrain carefully; identify features of concern, especially in areas that received more new snow.
New very soft slabs and older dense wind slabs could be human triggered in steep wind loaded avalanche starting zones, steep chutes and cliff areas. These slabs are generally expected to be one to two feet deep but could be up to three feet deep in some areas.
( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Skies will remain cloudy with periods of light snowfall that will favor the Salt River Range. Snowfall totals of 4 to 7 inches are likely in portions of the Greys River forecast area. Other areas can expect to receive 1 to 4 inches. Temperatures in the mountains will drop into the single digits overnight and rise into the teens during the day. Winds will be from the northeast to southeast with gusts to 30 miles per hour.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be MODERATE in the Teton and Togwotee Pass areas and may be higher in portions of the Greys River area that are favored by this southern storm track. Slab avalanches formed by recent winds could be human triggered with depths to two feet in steep avalanche prone terrain.
