Togwotee Pass

At the mid and upper elevations well-developed crusts exist. Dry snow avalanches are unlikely. Cooler temperatures and clouds should keep the wet snow avalanche hazard at bay. At the lower elevations crusts will soften. Monitor conditions for the development of wet snow avalanche hazards on isolated terrain features.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )A storm system will begin to move into the region from the west. Clouds and moisture will increase during the evening. Snow showers are forecast to develop overnight. Snow may mix with rain below an elevation of 7,000 feet on Tuesday before changing back to snow by Tuesday night. Accumulations of 2 to 4 inches are to be expected at the higher elevations. Temperatures will be in the 20s at the higher elevations and in the 30s and 40s at the lower elevations. Winds will be light and back towards the south.Monitor conditions and be aware of the potential for wet snow avalanche hazards on isolated terrain features at the lower elevations. In the mountains the snowpack is mostly stable and avalanches are unlikely except in isolated pockets. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be low.
