Hydrologic Outlook issued January 6 at 12:50PM AKST by NWS Juneau AK
ESFAJK Off and on showers will continue through mid week. The next organized system will push an atmospheric river into the panhandle late Thursday night through Friday. This system will bringing rounds of moderate to heavy rain for communities along and south of a line from Sitka to Angoon to Petersburg. Current forecast rainfall amounts are around 2 to 4 inches, with locally higher amounts approaching 5 inches at higher terrain. This rainfall in combination with rapidly rising freezing levels around 3000 to 5000ft will lead to localized flooding concerns like rapid river rises on small streams, ponding on road ways and poor drainage due to snow blocking drains. Any existing snowpack will become more dense and hard to move. Preparations should begin for an expected rain on snow event going into the weekend. Including the cities of Sitka, Angoon, Petersburg, Kake, Port Alexander, Craig, Klawock, Hydaburg, Coffman Cove, Thorne Bay, Wrangell, Ketchikan, Hyder, and Metlakatla
About
Kadake Bay Cabin provides a secluded wilderness experience in southeast Alaska's Tongass National Forest. The modified hunter-style cabin sits at the mouth of Kadake Creek on northeastern Kuiu Island, surrounded by grassy tidal flats and low-elevation old-growth forest. The cabin sleeps up to six people with one double bunk, one single bunk, and a loft. It is equipped with an oil stove (requiring kerosene or #1 diesel fuel), a wooden table, benches, and basic tools. An outhouse with a removable basket system is provided outside. Access to the cabin requires careful planning due to extreme tidal fluctuations. Visitors can reach the site by float plane from Petersburg (39 miles) or by boat from Kake (13 miles). An 18-foot tide or higher is required for direct access; lower tides may require up to a 2-mile walk across mud flats. The remote location demands self-sufficiency: guests must bring their own fuel, drinking water, sleeping bags, cooking equipment, and all food. Water from Kadake Creek must be treated or boiled before consumption. The area is renowned for its fishing and hunting opportunities. Anglers can find coho and pink salmon, steelhead, Dolly Varden, and cutthroat trout in Kadake Creek. Hunters pursue black bears and waterfowl in the surrounding terrain. Wildlife viewing is excellent, with opportunities to observe waterfowl, grouse, and black bears. The combination of tidal flats and old-growth forest creates diverse habitat. Visitors should be aware of bear safety, consult tide tables before arrival, and note that high levels of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning have been recorded in local clams. This is an extremely remote wilderness location requiring proper preparation and outdoor skills.
Directions

Refer to USGS topographic maps Petersburg D6, C6 and Port Alexander D1.
