This is a follow-up request on previous spot requests for the 20 mile avalanche fatality recovery mission. A clue was found on 8/11/25 in the swiftwater downstream of the 20 mile avalanche debris. A team was sent in to investigate if there was a subject at the clue site, but it was inconclusive due to dangerous swiftwater conditions limiting visibility and access. 1) We would like to get a relative streamflow assessment for Wednesday through Sunday afternoon. We are looking for when the streamflow would likely be at its lowest. We need the stream to be 1 ft lower than what it is now (we do not have depth info, so a relative assessment is fine) to get our team to the river level and in a position to investigate. 2) Wed like a narrative assessment of when flying conditions would / would not support AST helo flight to the debris site and how that coincides with the relative stream levels. Please let me know if you have any questions, Amy ...WEATHER PARAMETERS REQUESTED...
