Special Weather Statement issued September 18 at 10:34PM AKDT by NWS Juneau AK
Heavy rain and strong winds are expected to continue through this evening and last through the weekend as multiple strong low pressure systems move into the northern gulf. These lows will bring multiple days of moderate to heavy rain, with around 1.5 to 3 inches of rain every 24 hours. Some areas, especially near Yakutat and along the gulf coast, could see localized areas reach around 4 inches of rain in 24 hours. Heaviest rain rates are anticipated late Saturday into Sunday with hourly rates of 0.15 to 0.3 inches possible. This heavy rain will likely cause rapid river rises along smaller rivers and streams, but no flooding is expected at this time for areas outside the flood watch. Along with this heavy rain, increased winds are highly likely across the area. Strongest winds are anticipated to occur late Saturday into Sunday with 30 to 40 kts, gusts to 50 kts across the gulf and 20 to 35 kts, gusts around 40 to 50 kts across the northern inner channels. Land winds will also increase, with areas especially along the central gulf coast seeing wind gusts up to around 45 mph. Check back for more updates through the weekend.

About
Cascade Creek Cabin is a hunter-style Forest Service cabin situated at the edge of a second-growth spruce-hemlock forest along a gravel beach near the mouth of Cascade Creek in Thomas Bay. The cabin features a wood stove, oil heater requiring #1 stove oil, two double bunks, two single bunks, a counter, wooden table and benches, a covered porch, and an axe/maul. A pit-type outhouse is provided. Guests must bring their own sleeping bags and pads, cooking gear, food, fire starter, garbage bags, and approximately one gallon of heating oil per day. The Cascade Creek Trail begins near the cabin, offering moderate hiking for the first mile before gaining elevation and becoming more challenging. The trail provides access to waterfalls, a whitewater canyon, and pristine alpine lakes including Falls Lake and Swan Lake, where rowboats with oars are available. The area supports wildlife including deer, moose, mountain goats, and black bears. Fishing opportunities include king salmon, halibut, and crab in front of the cabin and in Thomas Bay. Float plane or boat access is tide-dependent. During summer months, cruise ships frequently anchor near Cascade Creek, increasing trail traffic. Forested slopes behind the cabin rise steeply to Cosmos Peak at 5,000 feet elevation.
Directions
Access by float plane or boat only. Located on the mainland in Thomas Bay, south of Cascade Creek and east of Spray Island. From Petersburg: 14 miles by float plane or 19 miles by boat. Float plane and boat access can only occur at certain tide stages. Refer to USGS topographic map Petersburg D3.
