Discussion: | The National Weather Service Forecasts- TODAY...MOSTLY SUNNY. PATCHY FOG IN THE MORNING. HIGHS AROUND 50. LIGHT WINDS BECOMING SOUTHWEST 10 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON. TONIGHT...MOSTLY CLEAR. PATCHY FOG LATE. LOWS AROUND 30. LIGHT WINDS. THURSDAY...PARTLY CLOUDY. PATCHY FOG IN THE MORNING. HIGHS Temperatures have been well above freezing once again for the last several days. With high temperatures in the forecast today and direct sunlight avalanche danger is MODERATE at this time. Look to see point release avalanche during the afternoon heat of the day. Mostly on south facing slopes. Near steep open faces and around rock bands will show the most activity. Please do not park below the snowslide creek avalanche path along Thane Road. This face will see quite a bit of direct sunlight today. Please do not walk in the meadows above the Behrands/ Highland neighborhood under the avalanche path. The Glide cracks along this face continue to expand and this could create glide avalanches. Have a great day and enjoy the sunshine! Remember it is safest earlier in the day and as the day heats up it is best to stay on shaded north facing slopes to avoid higher danger on the sunny slopes. |
