Togwotee Pass

The general avalanche hazard is LOW. At the upper elevations isolated pockets of shallow wind slab could present a hazard to people who venture into cliff areas. Some potential may remain for humans to trigger a pocket of dense slab up to two feet deep on northerly aspects in extreme terrain. Avalanches are unlikely elsewhere.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Clouds will increase Monday night and Tuesday as the first in a series of weak Pacific troughs approaches. Morning low temperatures will be in the low teens then warm during the day into the low 20s. Valley inversions will continue with morning temperatures cooling to five below zero and warming into the upper teens. Winds at the ridge tops will be southwesterly at 10 miles per hour.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW. Mostly stable snow exists and avalanches are unlikely. Caution is advised in cliff areas and extreme terrain.
