Special Weather Statement issued April 10 at 3:26PM AKDT by NWS Juneau AK
A system moving across the Gulf will send bands of precipitation sweeping into the panhandle beginning late Sunday afternoon for most of SE AK, and early Sunday morning for Yakutat. Yakutat is expected to see some snow mixing in early Sunday morning, before transitioning to rain during the daytime. Sunday night into early Monday morning, temperatures will cool enough that some snow may be able to mix in across the northern panhandle. Any snow accumulations for most areas near sea level are likely to remain less than an inch. Although it is a more unlikely scenario due to the warmer temperatures, the possibility of marginally higher accumulations (1 to 3 inches) cannot be ruled out at this time. What snow that does fall is likely to be wet in nature.

About
Admiralty Cove Cabin provides a unique wilderness lodging experience on the northern tip of Admiralty Island in the Tongass National Forest. This primitive Pan Abode log cabin accommodates up to 6 guests on wooden bunks and includes basic amenities: a table, benches, cooking counter, oil stove for heat, and an outside pit toilet. An old CCC shelter on site provides additional covered space. The cabin rests on a level, forested bench overlooking Admiralty Creek and a large grassy tidal meadow, approximately a quarter-mile from the saltwater beach in Admiralty Cove. The surrounding landscape features dense spruce and hemlock forests, glacier-fed streams, lakes and muskeg openings, with rocky spires rising along the island's high crest. Brown bears are abundant in the area, particularly during salmon runs from July through August. Wildlife viewing opportunities include Sitka black-tailed deer, bald eagles, harbor seals, Steller sea lions, humpback whales and various waterfowl. The 4.5-mile Admiralty Cove-Young Lake trail departs directly from the cabin, offering a relatively flat hike that follows creeks at each end, though it can be strenuous in wet conditions. Fishing for cutthroat trout, Dolly Varden and coho salmon is available in the adjacent stream and nearby Young Bay. Springtime beachcombing often yields Japanese fishing floats and other treasures washed up by winter storms. Visitors must bring all their own supplies including water, sleeping bags, cook stove, No. 1 stove oil (5-10 gallons per week), and pack out all garbage.
Directions
Access by floatplane (15 minutes from Juneau) or boat (20 miles from Juneau) only. Admiralty Cove is within Young Bay on the north end of Admiralty Island. Look for a large pruned opening in the beach fringe on the east side of the small island in Admiralty Cove. Helicopter access is illegal in this designated Wilderness area. Tidal restrictions apply: boat and floatplane access requires 15-foot or higher incoming tide due to extensive tidal flats. Better anchorage west of the island may require hip waders to cross Admiralty Creek. USGS map Juneau A-2.
