Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is LOW. Cooler temperatures have diminished the potential for wet snow avalanche activity. The snowpack is mostly stable and avalanches are unlikely. Caution is advised on steep avalanche prone slopes and in cliff areas.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )A Pacific low pressure trough will move inland into Central Wyoming. Light snowfall is expected to develop in the mountains overnight and continue through the day. Favored areas could receive five to eight inches before skies clear on Saturday. The snowfall will be accompanied by southwest winds at 15 to 25 miles per hour. Temperatures will be in the teens and 20s.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW but will increase in upper elevation avalanche starting zones as the day progresses. Isolated pockets of new soft slab six to 12 inches deep are expected to form and could be human triggered in cliff areas and the entrances to steep couloirs.
