An atmospheric river is expected to arrive across the panhandle starting late Thursday night and lasting through early Saturday morning. Precipitation is expected to start as snow for many areas, but will be transitioning to rain for many sea level areas into Friday. Southern panhandle is expected to switch over first Thursday night with the central and northern inner channels switching to rain sometime Friday morning. Total rainfall amounts from late Thursday night through Friday night may range around 1 to 4 inches. In addition, there is a very deep snow pack in place in the northern and central panhandle that is potentially blocking storm drains and generally allowing for ponding of rain and snowmelt in areas that they normally would not collect. * WHAT...Flooding caused by rain and snowmelt continues to be possible. * WHERE...The following areas, Prince of Wales, Eastern Gulf Coast, Southern Inner Channels and Central Inner Channels. This includes the cities of Sitka, Petersburg, Kake, Port Alexander, Craig, Klawock, Hydaburg, Coffman Cove, Thorne Bay, Wrangell, Ketchikan, Hyder, And Metlakatla. * WHEN...From Friday morning through Saturday evening. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, other low-lying areas and flood-prone locations. Storm drains and ditches may become clogged with debris or snow. Increased risk of possible isolated landslides. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - An atmospheric river is forecast to impact the panhandle late Thursday night into Friday night. The Southern and Central panhandle may start out as snow, but is expected to switch to rain late Thursday night. Around 2 to 4 inches with possibly locally higher amounts of rain is across the central and southern panhandle Thursday night through Friday night. Some areas may still have some snow around which could increase the possibility of flooding in those areas as it melts. Gusty winds at sea level ranging from 40 to 60 mph are also possible along the southern panhandle Friday. This combination of weather hazards could lead to increased risk possible isolated landslides along steep slopes. Stream flows in rivers may quickly rise and reach bankful levels. There is also a possibility of more moderate to heavy rain later in the weekend as a series of further systems may impact the watch area.
About
Sergief Island Cabin offers a distinctive Southeast Alaska experience on the Stikine River delta within the Stikine-LeConte Wilderness. Built in 1962, this 12x14 foot Pan Abode style cabin sits between tidal grass flats and a spruce-hemlock forest on the northwest side of Sergief Island. The cabin accommodates up to 4 guests with two single bunks and two double bunks, plus a table, benches, oil heater, and covered deck with a wooden cooler box. The surrounding landscape differs from typical Southeast Alaska rainforest, featuring flat terrain with grass, shrubs, willow, and alder. A small stream flows 75 feet from the cabin, with low forested hills rising behind. Wildflowers bloom prominently in May and June. The area supports brown and black bears, bald eagles, hawks, and moose, while the Stikine River tidal flats serve as a major stopover for waterfowl and shorebirds during spring and fall migrations. Access requires careful planning as tides dictate arrival and departure. A minimum 18-foot tide is necessary for shallow draft boat or float plane access. The cabin is located 10 miles from Wrangell or 10 miles from the boat ramp at Banana Point on the south end of Mitkof Island. High tide waters around the cabin are ideal for kayaking and canoeing, and the location is excellent for fall waterfowl hunting. Guests must bring #1 stove oil for heat, all water, sleeping gear, cooking equipment, and be prepared to pack out all trash. No cell service is available. Wilderness restrictions apply and helicopter access is prohibited.
Directions
