Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is LOW. Mostly stable snow exist except in extreme terrain on shaded aspects above an elevation of 9,500 feet. In those areas some potential may persist for humans to trigger pockets of dense slab up to two feet in depth.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )A weak weather system will pass by to the northeast Wednesday Night with some light snowfall in the mountains and areas of light snow or flurries in the lower elevations. Clouds will increase during the day with areas of light snow developing by evening. Temperatures will rise into the low 20s from overnight lows in the single digits above zero at the highest elevations and the single digits below zero at the lowest elevations. Winds will be west-northwesterly at five to ten miles per hour.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW. Mostly stable snow exists and avalanches are unlikely except in isolated areas. Those areas are very steep shaded aspects above an elevation of 9,500 feet that avalanche frequently. In those areas the potential may exist for humans to trigger pockets of dense slab up to two feet deep.
