Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is LOW. The snowpack is mostly stable and avalanches are unlikely. Caution is advised on steep avalanche-prone slopes and in cliff areas as temperatures warm.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )A few light snow showers are possible over the peaks tonight with little accumulation. Sunday will be dry with morning temperatures in the low 20s warming to the mid 40s. Winds will be southwesterly at 10 to 15 miles per hour. At upper elevations backcountry travelers could find pockets of soft slab to a foot in depth on steep lee slopes. Warming temperatures will make it easy to trigger wet surface sloughs. The hazard at upper elevations will start at LOW and may increase to MODERATE. Sloughs could grow to dangerous size on very steep, open slopes or where debris could concentrate as in ravines or terrain traps. At mid and low elevations the hazard will be LOW where the snowpack has been through numerous melt-freeze cycles and the snowpack is mostly stable.
