At the mid and upper elevations shallow pockets of new wind slab formed by northwest winds and small pockets of older wind slab could triggered by humans who venture into steep wind loaded avalanche starting zones and cliff areas. Avalanches are unlikely at the lower elevations.
New pockets of wind slab 6 to 12 inches deep are most likely to be triggered in steep, previously un-skied areas with fresh deposits of wind blown snow. Older wind slabs up to 18 inches in depth could also be triggered in very steep cliff areas and steep couloirs.
Dry conditions with mostly clear skies will prevail through Sunday night before another fast moving storm system brings widespread light snowfall to the mountains on Monday. Temperatures will drop into the teens tonight and rise into the 30s and 40s on Sunday. Northwest winds will back towards the west at speeds of 20 to 30 miles per hour with higher gusts. The general avalanche hazard is expected to remain MODERATE in the Teton area and CONSIDERABLE in the Togwotee Pass/Continental Divide and Greys River/Southwest Trails areas where some potential for humans to trigger deep hard slabs persist in areas with poor snowpack structure. Surface slabs formed by northwest winds could be human triggered at the higher elevations in all of these forecast areas. These surface slabs could be up to two feet in depth.
