Tetons

The General Avalanche Hazard is LOW at all elevations. Melt-freeze cycles over the last week have led to a mostly stable snowpack when frozen. While unlikely, backcountry travelers could still trigger isolated pockets of dry surface slab up to a foot in depth persisting on very-steep, shaded aspects above 9,000 feet. Strong winds and new snow could also combine to form new, shallow surface slabs 4 to 8 inches deep in wind loaded starting zones at the upper elevations as the day progresses. Mostly bare ground exists at the lower elevations.

A couple of rapidly moving weather systems will continue to bring unsettled conditions to the area Monday night and into Tuesday. One to three inches of new snow could accumulate in the mountains by Tuesday evening. Overnight temperatures up high are expected to dip into the teens before rising into the 20s on Tuesday. The valley should see lows in the mid 20s and highs in the low 30s. West-southwesterly ridgetop winds at 25 to 35 mph are forecasted to veer to the Northwest and decrease to 15 to 25 mph by Tuesday morning.The General Avalanche Hazard is expected to be LOW on Tuesday.
