Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

At the highest elevations isolated pockets of wind slab could be triggered in extreme terrain. Cooler temperatures and clouds should keep the wet snow avalanche hazard at bay at the mid and upper elevations. At the lower elevations crust will soften and rain showers are possible. Monitor conditions for the development of wet snow avalanche hazards on isolated terrain features.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )A storm system will begin to move into the region from the west. Clouds and moisture will increase during the evening. Snow showers are forecast to develop overnight. Snow may mix with rain below an elevation of 7,000 feet on Tuesday before changing back to snow by Tuesday night. Accumulations of 2 to 4 inches are to be expected at the higher elevations. Temperatures will be in the 20s at the higher elevations and in the 30s and 40s at the lower elevations. Winds will be light and back towards the south.Monitor conditions and be aware of the potential for wet snow avalanche hazards on isolated terrain features at the lower elevations. In the mountains the snowpack is mostly stable and avalanches are unlikely except in isolated pockets. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be low.
