I've been up the Coastal route, and you can expect Juneau to be 800
to 1200 OVC, and 2-5 miles from June through at least September. There
are 2 lighted runways, one with a Green and White beacon, and one with a
Yellow and White beacon. You want the runway on the right, with the green
one. I've never landed westbound.

Wait a minute. If you're landing eastbound, the relatively dry one is on
the *left* (runway 8, not 8W)...

For the original poster, here's a snapshot of both from a while ago:

Oops, you're right, er, left, whatever.

By the way, I think that photo is photo-shopped, I didn't know there was
that much sky up there. I have never seen it from the ground. To the OP, I
found these:
