	All About Juneau's Rain
		The wettest place in Juneau is the "rain belt," encompassing both sides of Gastineau Channel from approximately Sheep Creek extending north to Salmon Creek and including downtown.
		First, any southerly flow in Gastineau Channel is squeezed and forced up as the channel narrows because of the protruding terrain along Salisbury Ridge, Mount Roberts and Mount Juneau.
		Heintzleman Ridge (Thunder Mountain) is another choke point in the flow up Gastineau Channel and lifting over the ridge may add spillover rain into the valley.
