(CNN) Alaska's capital city of Juneau is on alert after an avalanche sent a wall of snow and debris tumbling dangerously close to homes. It's the third time in about five weeks that an avalanche has hit the highlands neighborhood, city officials said. While there were no injuries or serious property damage Friday, Juneau's avalanche forecaster Tom Mattice told CNN that recent weather has created dangerous conditions in the area. "More snow last week and more rain this week ... has added stress to the snowpack," Mattice said. "Southeast Alaskan mountains are young and dynamic -- straight up and down," Mattice said.
