Tetons

The hazard will increase as the day progresses on steep slopes where fresh deposits of wind blown snow accumulate on slick old snow surfaces. At the upper elevations pockets of new soft slab up 14 inches deep may be triggered by humans who venture into steep wind loaded avalanche starting zones. At the mid elevations humans who venture into steep avalanche starting zones may be able to trigger isolated pockets of new soft slab up to 10 inches deep. Avalanches are unlikely at the lower elevations.

Periods of lighter density snowfall are likely overnight and into the morning hours. Several inches of new snow accumulation are likely. Skies will begin to clear in the afternoon. Temperatures will drop into the low teens overnight and rise into the 20s on Tuesday. Winds will be west to west-northwesterly at 10 to 15 miles per hour.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW. At the higher elevations (9,000 to 10,500 feet) isolated pockets of surface slab 6 to 12 inches deep will form on slick old snow surfaces. Humans who venture into steep avalanche starting zones with fresh deposits of wind-blown snow could trigger these slabs.
