Tetons

At the mid and lower elevations, wet slides will remain possible as warming temperatures and rain weaken the snowpack. At the upper elevations, where snow surfaces froze overnight, avalanches are unlikely in the morning. There, cloud cover and new snow in the afternoon is expected to shield the snowpack from warming events. However, if skies remain mostly clear, wet slides could become a threat in the afternoon. Avoid avalanche terrain where the snowpack cannot support the weight of backcountry travelers.

Expect mostly dry conditions on Tuesday. Cloud cover will decrease overnight and skies will be partly cloudy to mostly sunny during the day. Overnight lows in the mountains will be in the upper teens before rising to near freezing in the afternoon. Westerly ridgetop winds will back to the southwest and decrease to 10 to 20 miles per hour.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW Tuesday morning and could rise to MODERATE during the day if skies are mostly sunny. Isolated pockets of very shallow wind slab could be triggered in steep, wind loaded terrain. Monday’s new snow will slow the sun's impact on the spring snowpack below. Take note if old snow surfaces become unsupportable; this will be an indicator that wet slides are becoming possible.
