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

There are still multiple weak layers further down in the snowpack but the heavy dense snow above them appears to be supportive at this time. Be cautious as new loads are placed on this already weak layer.

With several inches of new snow in the forecast look to see wind loading as the new snow deposits come in accompanied by winds of 10+ MPH throughout the cycle.

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

Look to see danger levels rise as the snow deposits deepen throughout the next 24 hour storm cycle.

Please remember this is not a backcountry forecast.

Please be aware that fieldwork continues to show multiple weak layers in the snowpack and backcountry danger levels could be considerably higher especially as this new snow comes in with the wind loading.

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!
