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
Anan Lake Cabin provides a unique wilderness experience at a remote backcountry lake in the Tongass National Forest. The 14'x16' hunter-style cabin sits at 231' elevation on the south end of Anan Lake, accessible exclusively by floatplane from Wrangell (31 air miles). The cabin accommodates up to 6 guests with 2 single bunks and 2 double bunks, plus a table, benches, and an oil stove. Guests can explore the lake using the provided 14' skiff with oars. Fishing opportunities include cutthroat trout from May to September and silver salmon in September on Anan Lake, plus steelhead in April-May and pink salmon in July-August on Anan Creek. Boulder Lake is accessible via a primitive trail about 0.3 miles from the cabin. In-season hunting is popular in designated areas. The surrounding terrain features moderate to steep mountain peaks covered with Sitka spruce, western hemlock rainforest, and muskeg. Black and brown bears, deer, bald eagles, and waterfowl are abundant. The nearby Anan Wildlife Observatory offers exceptional bear viewing during July and August salmon runs, though there is no developed access from the cabin to the observatory. Note that areas are closed to the public between June 15 and September 15 near the lower trail to saltwater.
Directions
Accessible by floatplane only, 31 air miles southeast of Wrangell at the head of Anan Lake. The lake is normally ice-free May through October.
