Warm temperatures and sunshine will melt snow surfaces and increase the avalanche hazard. Wet slides are possible on very steep slopes after significant warming occurs. Avalanche terrain should be avoided during the warmest portion of the day.
Wet loose slides are possible on very steep slopes after snow surfaces soften. These wet slides could dig down to deeper layers. Steep snow covered slopes that were saturated by rain could slide on the ground surface.
High pressure will keep skies mostly clear Saturday night through Monday. Clear nights will allow good cooling with mountain lows dropping to 20 degrees Sunday morning. Temperatures will warm rapidly with sunrise and highs will reach into the upper 30s or warmer. Winds at 10,000 feet will be westerly at 10 miles per hour.Crusts will form overnight on most slopes for good morning stability. Rapid warming with the sun will increase the chance of triggering wet-loose slides in the Tetons and possibly deeper slabs in the Togwotee Pass and Greys River areas. The General Avalanche Hazard will be LOW in the Morning then rise to MODERATE when crusts break down.
