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
Cascade Creek Cabin sits at the edge of a second-growth spruce-hemlock forest along a gravel beach near the mouth of Cascade Creek in Thomas Bay. This remote hunter-style cabin accommodates up to six people with wooden bunks, a table, benches, and both wood and oil stoves for heat. A pit toilet outhouse is located outside. The cabin provides direct access to the Cascade Creek Trail, which begins nearby and offers varied hiking experiences. The trail is moderate for the first mile before gaining elevation and becoming more challenging. It leads to waterfalls, a whitewater canyon, pristine alpine lakes, and areas frequented by mountain goats. The trail connects to Falls Lake and Swan Lake, both of which have rowboats with oars available. During summer months, cruise ships occasionally anchor in the bay, increasing foot traffic on the trail. The surrounding area is home to deer, moose, mountain goats, and black bears. The forested slopes behind the cabin rise steeply toward Cosmos Peak at 5,000 feet. Activities include fishing, hunting, boating, and wildlife viewing. Access is exclusively by float plane (14 miles) or boat (19 miles) from Petersburg and is tide-dependent. Guests must bring their own drinking water or treat water from the nearby stream, as well as all sleeping gear, cooking equipment, stove oil, and supplies.
Directions
Access by float plane or boat only from Petersburg. Located on the mainland in Thomas Bay, south of Cascade Creek and east of Spray Island. 14 miles by float plane or 19 miles by boat. Float plane or boat access is tide-dependent.
