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
Church Bight Cabin offers a remote wilderness experience on the southeast side of Admiralty Island in the Tongass National Forest. The large A-frame log cabin sits on level ground just steps from Church Bight, a small tidal saltwater cove within Gambier Bay, surrounded by temperate rainforest of old-growth spruce and hemlock. The cabin sleeps up to 7 people with 4 single wooden bunks and a sleeping loft. It includes a wood stove for heat, table and benches, cooking counter, and basic tools. An outside pit toilet is provided. Firewood is generally stacked in a woodshed near the cabin but availability is not guaranteed. There is no running water or electricity. The water source from a nearby stream is intermittent and a boat may be necessary to obtain water from other drainages. All water must be treated before use. Fishing opportunities include fly fishing for Dolly Varden and rainbow trout in nearby streams, with halibut and rockfish available in open waters. The area is known for wildlife viewing, including brown bears, Sitka black-tailed deer, migratory waterfowl, and humpback whales. Access is by floatplane (1 hour from Juneau, 30 minutes from Petersburg) or boat with anchor (approximately 70 miles from Juneau via Stephens Passage). Tides affect access to the cabin.
