Togwotee Pass

The snowpack is mostly stable this morning, and avalanches are unlikely. Temperatures remained above freezing overnight below 8,000 feet, and small wet slides could become possible as the day warms, especially if mostly sunny skies prevail in the afternoon. Avoid steep terrain where wet, unconsolidated snow is unsupportable.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Southwesterly flow aloft will bring a fast-moving Pacific disturbance through the region tonight. Mountain snow and valley rain will begin this evening before snow levels drop down to the valley floor overnight. Snowfall will begin to taper off in the morning after depositing two to four inches in the higher elevations. As the day progresses, cloud cover will be on the decrease. Overnight lows in the mountains will be in the upper teens before rising to near 30 in the afternoon. In the valleys, temperatures should drop below freezing overnight before climbing into the mid to upper 30s during the day. Southwesterly ridgetop winds will range from 10 to 20 miles per hour.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be Low on Sunday. The limited amount of snowfall will accumulate on warm snow surfaces, strong winds are not anticipated and avalanche activity is not expected at the mid and upper elevations. Normal caution is advised. If overnight temperatures remain above freezing at the lower elevations, small wet slides might be possible in the afternoon if skies become mostly sunny.
