Winter Storm Warning issued January 4 at 4:12PM AKST until January 5 at 3:00PM AKST by NWS Juneau AK
...HEAVY SNOW RETURNS TO SOUTHEAST ALASKA ON MONDAY... .A weather system will arrive late Sunday night and sweep into southeast Alaska, bringing heavy snowfall across the region on Monday. Heaviest snowfall rates are expected through Monday morning and into the afternoon. An initial warmup moving up from the south is expected through the afternoon and overnight hours on Monday, resulting in some locations changing over to a rain and rain/snow mix for areas along and south of the Icy Strait Corridor from Elfin Cove to Gustavus and Juneau. However, weakening winds combined with heavy snow showers on Tuesday will more than likely see a switch back to snow. Main forecast challenge on Tuesday will be the highly variable snowfall accumulations across the northern panhandle due to the hit or miss nature of the showers, warnings and advisories could be extended into Tuesday. * WHAT...Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 7 to 10 inches. Winds gusting as high as 40 mph. * WHERE...City and Borough of Yakutat. * WHEN...From midnight tonight to 3 PM AKST Monday. * IMPACTS...Travel by land, sea, and air will be be very difficult. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The heaviest snowfall rates are expected Monday. A changeover to rain is expected Monday afternoon through Monday night night to rain, although a changeover back to snow is possible late Tuesday.
About
Italio River Cabin sits on the west bank of Hooligan Creek, approximately half a mile from the Old Italio River and the Gulf of Alaska, 30 miles southeast of Yakutat. This 14x20-ft. A-frame cabin sleeps six people with two single bunks and a sleeping loft, equipped with a table, benches, broom, and oil heater. Outside amenities include a picnic table, campfire ring, pit toilet outhouse, and a 12x12-ft. meat shed. The cabin is accessed by wheeled plane on a 1,600x100-ft. tidal flat airstrip that may flood during extreme high tides or heavy rains. The surrounding terrain is relatively flat and can get very wet, with predominantly brush vegetation, scattered willow and alder thickets, and cottonwoods. The Old Italio, New Italio, and Akwe River systems provide outstanding fishing opportunities for rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, steelhead, and sockeye, pink, king, and coho salmon. Moose hunting ranges from good to excellent in the area. Visitors must bring their own drinking water, #1 stove oil for heating, sleeping bags, pads, cooking equipment, food, and other supplies. Large populations of moose and brown bears inhabit this area, with bald eagles, ravens, and gulls commonly observed. The remote location requires careful planning for weather conditions and tidal charts, as conditions can affect airstrip access and extended stays may be necessary due to poor weather.
