Avalanche danger in Alaska's capital city of Juneau has been high as rain and warming temperatures are in the forecast through the weekend. Numerous slides have been reported including two that came down on Basin Road and Behrends Avenue Wednesday morning. As freezing levels climb rain on snow can add stress to deeper layers in the snowpack that could break loose and release an avalanche. See the KTOO article here.
