Winter Weather Advisory issued March 1 at 6:52AM AKST until March 2 at 6:00AM AKST by NWS Juneau AK
...ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOWFALL EXPECTED SUNDAY FOR CENTRAL PANHANDLE... The active weather pattern continues through Sunday as remnants of yesterday's storm continues to dissipate. Split flow will develop as an incoming front stalls across the central panhandle, with cold strong northerly outflow winds developing across the northern inner channels and warmer southerly winds across the southern panhandle. This sets the stage for portions of the central and southern panhandle to see moderate to heavy snowfall by Sunday afternoon through Sunday evening as another surge of moisture pushes into the area. A transition to a rain snow mix is expected through Monday morning with a transition to rain by Monday afternoon as temperatures increase. Main forecast challenge is potential for temperatures to warm up quicker than expected through Sunday night and into Monday morning with the front moving further north, limiting snowfall accumulations. * WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 5 to 9 inches. * WHERE...Prince of Wales Island and City and Borough of Wrangell. * WHEN...Until 6 AM AKST Monday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning commute. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Highest snowfall totals will remain on the northern side of Prince of Wales Island and upper elevations near Wrangell. Heaviest snowfall rates are expected by Sunday afternoon through Sunday night. Snow ratios will decrease through Sunday night as warm air pushes northward with a transition to a mixed precipitation through late Monday morning.

About
Anita Bay Overlook Campsite is a small, primitive camping area located on Wrangell Island within the Tongass National Forest. The campground features two sites, each providing excellent views of Zimovia Strait and the Three Sisters range on Etolin Island. Both sites are fully accessible, making this a rare accessible option for remote camping in Southeast Alaska. The campground is located approximately 14 miles south of the town of Wrangell off Zimovia Highway, accessed via Forest Road 6267. Visitors should plan to travel about 2.2 miles down this forest road to reach the sites. The area receives light use and offers a peaceful camping experience with opportunities for picnicking, scenic viewing, and cross-country skiing or snowshoeing in winter months. This is a primitive campsite with basic amenities. Restroom facilities consist of outhouses, and there is no potable water available, so visitors must bring their own. The campground is free to use and operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations.
Directions
