With this last weeks warm weather and either rain or heavy dense snow from over the weekend the snowpack has settled and bonded quite a bit.

Cooler temperatures are in place today and not much new precipitation is expected.

There are still multiple weak layers further down in the snowpack but the heavy dense snow above them has started to bridge over them for the time being.

With very little snow on Mt Juneau and the lack triggers in the urban starting zones avalanche danger is LOW at this time.

Please remember this is not a backcountry forecast.

Recent field work showed weak layers but tests proved to be unsupportive of one another.

Some tests showed a weakness and the ability of the snowpack to fail. Yet other tests showed more stability in the pack and were unsupportive of the original tests.

Please be aware that there are multiple weak layers in the snowpack and backcountry danger levels could be considerably higher.

Please remember this is an avalanche forecast for the urban areas in the city of Juneau Only.

If you are a backcountry traveler please make sure you have the education and the tools to make good decisions and travel safely.

Remember, No Partner, No Transceiver, No Probe, No Shovel, No Training??? NO TRAVELING IN AVALANCHE TERRAIN!
