Special Weather Statement issued April 10 at 3:26PM AKDT by NWS Juneau AK
A system moving across the Gulf will send bands of precipitation sweeping into the panhandle beginning late Sunday afternoon for most of SE AK, and early Sunday morning for Yakutat. Yakutat is expected to see some snow mixing in early Sunday morning, before transitioning to rain during the daytime. Sunday night into early Monday morning, temperatures will cool enough that some snow may be able to mix in across the northern panhandle. Any snow accumulations for most areas near sea level are likely to remain less than an inch. Although it is a more unlikely scenario due to the warmer temperatures, the possibility of marginally higher accumulations (1 to 3 inches) cannot be ruled out at this time. What snow that does fall is likely to be wet in nature.
About
Clover Island State Marine Park sits on the northernmost of the islands between Point Couverdon and Howard Bay in Lynn Canal, locally known as Clover Island. Located midway between Juneau (18 miles west) and Gustavus (25 miles east), this remote marine park is accessible only by boat or floatplane. The park features a 14x18 foot rental cabin that accommodates up to 6 guests, equipped with a woodstove for heat, a fire ring, and a picnic table. Multiple anchorages and beach access points are available, though conditions depend on weather. The area offers exceptional opportunities for wildlife viewing, photography, kayaking, hunting, and sport fishing. Marine mammals are abundant, including humpback whales, orcas, seals, sea lions, and porpoises. Terrestrial wildlife such as brown bears and moose may also be seen. The coastal environment features spruce and hemlock forest, pristine beaches, and fascinating intertidal zones. Visitors should come prepared for Southeast Alaska's wet climate, with average summer highs in the 60s and annual rainfall of 60-90 inches. There is no fresh water source at the cabin, so bring your own water supply. Limited dead and downed wood is available, but bringing your own firewood is recommended. Weather can change quickly and last for days, making proper rain gear and safety equipment essential.
Directions
Accessible only by boat or floatplane. Located approximately 18 miles west of Juneau and 25 miles east of Gustavus. Boat launches available at Amalga Harbor, Auke Bay, or Juneau. The cabin is situated at the center of the H-shaped island approximately 1 mile south of Howard Bay with multiple anchorages depending on weather conditions.
