Winter Weather Advisory issued February 28 at 5:49AM AKST until February 28 at 9:00PM AKST by NWS Juneau AK
...CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PANHANDLE SNOW SATURDAY WITH POTENTIAL FOR MORE SNOW SUNDAY... Snowfall has increased in intensity and coverage overnight as a low tracks eastward across the Gulf towards the central panhandle. An estimated 2 to 4 inches has fallen overnight, these accumulations are separate from the next system set to affect the area through Saturday. Steady snowfall will continue through Saturday morning with rates increasing through the afternoon. Heaviest snowfall rates are expected to start by mid day along the coast, spreading eastward towards Hyder through Saturday night. As the low center tracks eastward through Saturday afternoon and evening, south to southwest wind will cause temperatures to warm over the southern outer coast with a mix or change to rain. Snow will then end on the NW side of the low, from Sitka to Juneau northward. Moisture will decrease overnight Saturday across the south, but then redevelop on Sunday as another system moves in. The rain/snow line will likely hover in vicinity of Sumner Strait Sunday into Monday with potential additional heavy snow for the Petersburg and Wrangell areas and lighter snow northward. A separate low pressure system looks to affect the region on Tuesday with potential for snow to push northward again. * WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 3 to 5 inches. Winds gusting as high as 35 mph. * WHERE...Admiralty Island, Western Kupreanof Island and Kuiu Island, Port Alexander, and Prince of Wales Island. * WHEN...Until 9 PM AKST Saturday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be difficult. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Heaviest snowfall rates expected Saturday afternoon.
About
Devil's Elbow Cabin is a remote A-frame cabin located on a narrow isthmus on Kuiu Island in Rocky Pass along Keku Strait between Kuiu and Kupreanof Island. Named for the sharp turn in Rocky Pass, the cabin sits near tide flats that extend for several miles to the south. The location is accessible only by boat (66 miles from Petersburg or 26 miles from Kake) or float plane (44 miles from Petersburg). Tides significantly impact access; a 16-foot tide is required for direct float plane access, and lower tides may require a half-mile walk across the tide flat. The cabin features a sleeping loft, oil heater (No. 1 stove oil only), 2 double bunks, wooden table and benches, and a pit toilet. Visitors must bring their own stove oil, bedding, and cooking utensils, as well as all water. The cabin's location makes it popular with kayakers and canoeists seeking protection from inclement weather. Rocky Pass is known for its interesting geology, attracting boaters and rockhounds. Fishing opportunities include steelhead during April and May and coho salmon in August and September. Hunting is available for waterfowl, grouse, and bear during designated seasons. The area is also a major waterfowl resting area. Wildlife in the vicinity includes seals, black bears, and wolves.
