Tetons

Dry snow avalanches are unlikely. The wet snow avalanche hazard will be low at all elevations in the morning and may increase to moderate below an elevation of 8,000 feet in the afternoon. Monitor conditions and avoid very steep terrain features in areas where snow surfaces have become wet. Roof slides are possible. Avalanches are unlikely at the upper elevations except on isolated terrain features or in extreme terrain.

Another weak system is to impact southwestern Wyoming Sunday and increase northward through the rest of the morning. Snowfall with light accumulations is expected at the higher elevations where high temperatures are to reach the low thirties and winds are to be light. At low elevations, minimal precipitation is expected to fall primarily as flurries that could also fall as light rain at times where temperatures could reach the upper thirties. The general avalanche in the Tetons will be LOW at all elevations in the morning and will increase to MODERATE at the low elevations where warming and potential rain will allow for the possibility of wet slides similar to today’s events. In the Southwest Trails and Togwotee Pass areas, the danger will be MODERATE all day as the unlikely but possible potential for deep slab avalanches continues in higher terrain and wet slide activity will again become possible at lower terrain in the afternoon.
