Togwotee Pass

Mountain temperatures are 5 to 10 degrees cooler than yesterday morning, and mostly stable snow exists above 8,000 feet. In very steep terrain at the lower elevations, periods of light rain and warming temperatures will keep the potential for shallow wet loose slides alive.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Expect light showers to develop after midnight as southwesterly flow brings a weak Pacific disturbance to the region. Initially, the rain line will be around 10,000 feet before an associated cold front moves through bringing it down to 7,500 feet by morning. By Sunday evening, three to six inches of new snow could accumulate in the mountains. Up there, temperatures will be in the upper 20s by daybreak before climbing a few degrees during the day. Overnight lows in the valleys will be near 40 before climbing to around 50 in the afternoon. Southwesterly to westerly ridgetop winds will range from 15 to 25 miles per hour.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW on Sunday. At the lower elevations, warming temperatures and rain will keep the threat of shallow wet slides possible.
