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
Bohemia Basin Shelter offers a unique wilderness experience on East Yakobi Island in the Tongass National Forest. This Adirondack-style emergency shelter, constructed of yellow cedar in 2004, sits at the mouth of Bohemia Creek on the north end of Lisianski Strait, approximately 7 miles northwest of the town of Pelican. The shelter is open on one side and sleeps up to six people on provided bunks. Inside, you'll find a wood stove for warmth, a food preparation table, and pegs for hanging clothes to dry. The shelter features an outside deck with an accessible ramp and access to a rock fire ring with a bench. A small boat dock and gangway, managed by the City of Pelican, provides access to the shelter. This site serves as the trailhead for the 4.0 mile primitive trail to Takanis Lake, making it an ideal base for backcountry exploration. The shelter receives light use and is available free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis. No water or restroom facilities are provided on-site, and campers must bring their own firewood as none is supplied. Access is by floatplane or boat only, adding to the remote wilderness character of this emergency shelter.
