One half to 2 inches of rain is possible across the region today. This rain is falling on a deep snow pack that is covering storm drains and drainage ditches. Ponding of water on roads and low lying areas is expected to become more widespread Friday morning. Storm drains should be kept clear of snow debris as much as possible. Watch out for ponding of water on roadways. Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross safely. Move to higher ground. In addition...a warmer airmass at higher elevations has pushed avalanche danger into the extreme category.

Avalanche explosive work by DOT&PF above Thane Road this morning brought down a number of large dry slab avalanches and left about 200m (600') of roadway under 2-8m (7-26') of debris. The previous night, the Snowslide Gulch path up Gold Creek released a deep and wide slab avalanche that temporarily dammed the creek by filling it with debris. Natural avalanche activity has been minimal today due to the gradual thaw, but even 20 minutes of hard rain at elevation would still release large slabs. The Weather Service forecast is close enough to these conditions that we cannot drop the danger level at this time.

Avalanche explosive delivery by DOT&PF above Thane Road this morning brought down a number of large dry slab avalanches and appears from a distance to have left about 300m (1000') of roadway under 2-8m (7-26') of debris. The forecast weather might allow the snow to settle in place if the thaw is gradual and rainfall remains light, but even a short burst of heavy rain to higher elevations would release large slab avalanches. We will have to keep the danger level at Extreme until that threat has time to pass.AdvisorySAAC06_07" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1350: Very Light Rain, Cloudy with the mainland mountaintops in the clouds and inner Gold Creek valley substantially obscured. 1250: Light Rain, Cloudy with very top of Mt.

"The Weather Service is forecasting a large storm that will bring heavy snow and strong SE winds late tonight, with rain to starting zone elevations by tomorrow. The starting zones are fat with snow, and a large slab avalanche that was triggered by a small cornice break on the Snowslide Gulch path up Gold Creek last night shows that the snowpack holds potential for big slides. Any of these weather factors alone would release slides. Snow, wind, and rain acting in combination are virtually certain to trigger an avalanche cycle.
