Flood Watch issued September 20 at 1:49AM AKDT until September 21 at 4:00AM AKDT by NWS Juneau AK
A series of low pressure systems will move through the panhandle this weekend bringing prolonged rain combined with high freezing levels to increase ice melt on glacier river systems. The heavy rainfall and associated runoff will produce significant river rises with the potential of minor flooding. * WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...The following area, Northern Inner Channels. This includes the cities of Skagway and Haines. * WHEN...Through late tonight. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, other low-lying areas and flood-prone locations. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - A series of lows will bring a prolonged period of rain combined with warmer temperatures aloft allowing for any precipitation falling into the region to remain as rain. Current thinking is that the light rain will continue Saturday evening before a second, stronger system moves in for Saturday night into Sunday morning bringing moderate to heavy rain fall. Rain showers will then take over on Sunday that may bring occasional moderate to heavy rainfall as well. For the Skagway area, 24 hour precip looks to get up to 1 to 2 inches this weekend while the storm total amounts could be 2 to 4 inches. The Haines area is expected to see 0.75 to 1.5 inches in 24 hours while a storm total precipitation of 2 to 3.5 inches is possible.

Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Winds will quickly increase as a strong low pressure system moves into the northern gulf early Sunday morning. Strongest winds will then occur Sunday afternoon, but strong winds will persist all day. Periods of wind gusts near 60 mph may occur, but confidence remains low.

About
Clover Island State Marine Park is a remote public use cabin located midway between Juneau and Gustavus on an island in Lynn Canal. The cabin sits approximately one mile south of Howard Bay on the northern portion of the H-shaped island. Access is exclusively by boat or floatplane, making this a true backcountry Alaska experience. The rustic cabin accommodates up to six guests and includes a wood stove for heating, though visitors should bring supplemental firewood as local supplies of downed wood and driftwood are limited. Basic amenities include an outhouse, fire ring, and picnic table. There is no potable water source on the island, so all drinking water must be packed in. The surrounding waters and forests support abundant wildlife, including humpback whales, orcas, harbor seals, Steller sea lions, brown bears, and moose. Popular activities include wildlife viewing, photography, sea kayaking, sport fishing, and hunting. Summer high temperatures average in the 60s with high humidity and 60-90 inches of annual rainfall, so quality rain gear and warm layers are essential.
Directions
