Special Weather Statement issued February 8 at 1:57PM AKST by NWS Juneau AK
After a series of shortwaves that brought rain and gusty winds over the past few days, a stronger front will approach southeast Alaska from the west on Tuesday. South to southeast winds will increase through the day Tuesday. Confidence is increasing for windy conditions with strong gusts Tuesday night into Wednesday morning as the front pushes west to east across southeast Alaska. Gales with storm force gusts will be possible ahead and along the frontal passage, especially along north-south oriented channels and along the coastal waters. A period of moderate to heavy rainfall will be possible with the frontal passage, but with the progressive nature of the front, flooding is not expected at this time. Another gale to potentially storm force low will quickly lift northeast into the Gulf and looks to push across southeast Alaska sometime later Wednesday into Thursday, bringing another round of strong gusty winds and moderate to heavy rainfall. Further details on the high wind and flooding potential for this system will be honed in on in the coming days. Looking further ahead, a cooling trend is favored to commence in the wake of these passing systems by late work week into the weekend. Snow levels will begin to lower and a colder outflow wind pattern could set up by late weekend. This could result in a return of snow for some coastal communities, especially across northern southeast Alaska. Further details on the pattern change and snow potential will be honed as the weekend approaches.
About
Allan Point Cabin sits at the edge of a tall, dense hemlock-spruce forest on Halleck Island in upper Nakwasina Sound, about 16 miles north of Sitka in the Tongass National Forest. The two-story Pan Abode style cabin was built in 1993 by volunteers and overlooks Nakwasina Sound to the south, providing an excellent base for saltwater fishing and deer hunting. The main level includes a single-wide bunk, table, benches, cooking counter, oil stove, front and back entrances, and a large front deck. A stairway leads to the second level with an open sleeping loft containing two double-wide bunks and outside balconies to the front and back. The cabin officially sleeps 5 but can accommodate additional people on the floor or balconies in good weather. Water is available from a small stream 200 feet west of the cabin. The site is accessible only by float plane or boat from Sitka, weather permitting. Float plane travel takes approximately 10 minutes, while boat travel takes about 30 minutes. Access can only occur at certain stages of the tide. Boat operators should use charts to locate dangerous rocks toward the east side of the bay when approaching the cabin. Brown bear frequent the area. The cabin area is part of a landscape that includes early 1960s harvest areas, creating a mosaic of alder-dominated second growth with spruce and hemlock understory.
