588 FWUS45 KPIH 181925 AVGPIH Avalanche Weather Guidance National Weather Service Pocatello ID 125 PM MDT Fri Mar 18 2022 .DISCUSSION...A fairly strong storm system will move onshore Saturday with the leading edge of associated precipitation reaching the Sawtooth region late Saturday afternoon and spreading east into the Gallatin, Teton, and Utah areas overnight. Snow levels start out fairly high Saturday afternoon/evening ranging around 6500 feet MSL then falling rapidly to valley floors with the passage of the cold front and on the back side of the main precipitation band Sunday morning. The deterministic forecast only shows a modest potential for accumulating snowfall favoring the eastern mountains. Statistically, the National Blend of Models (V4.1) continues to indicate that it is highly likely (70-90%) that each of the centers will see 24-hour precipitation totals exceeding 0.25 inch of water equivalent and only a 40-60% chance that they exceed 0.50 inch across the eastern mountains with only a 10-20% chance across the Sawtooth area. In terms of snowfall, the probability of exceeding 4 inches in the Sawtooth region is about 40-70% in the Sawtooths (and much less further south across the Wood River Region) and 65-90% for the eastern mountains (here the Island Park and Teton regions are most favored). Wind will accompany the incoming system with speeds ramping up rapidly across south-central Idaho and the Southern Sawtooth region Sunday morning before diminishing Sunday evening. Sustained speeds in that region are expected to run from 30-40kts with gusts in excess of 50kts across the higher peaks while each of the avalanche centers will likely see peak winds around 15kts with gusts up to 25-30kts Sunday. *****************Sawtooth Avalanche Forecast Area****************** ...Soldier Mountain (8549 ft)...
