"Taku Winds are mountain wave phenomenon generated over Gastineau Channel in the vicinity of Downtown Juneau and Douglas. Wind speeds vary in magnitude based on the strength of the mountain wave. Weak mountain waves produce gusts from 35 to 50 mph, while strong mountain waves yield gusts from 60 to 100 mph."

I think basically what happens, is the winds come down the Taku river valley and smash into Douglas and Juneau??
