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
Dan Moller Cabin sits at 1,800 feet elevation in the alpine landscape of central Douglas Island, surrounded by snow-capped peaks and evergreen trees. This popular two-level cedar cabin sleeps seven with a double and single bunk downstairs plus four bunks in the upstairs loft. The cabin is equipped with a table, benches, propane wall furnace, wood stove, and an outhouse. Two decks provide views overlooking the valley and mountains toward Admiralty Island. The 3-mile Dan Moller Trail features an 1,800-foot elevation gain through muskeg with partially planked sections that become slippery when wet or frosty. Summer access is by hiking, while winter visitors can use snowmobiles (when snow is at least 12 inches deep), snowshoes, or skis. The trail follows Kowee Creek through wildflower meadows and continues beyond the cabin into the mountains. High avalanche danger exists in winter and early spring. Visitors must bring sleeping bags, pads, cooking stoves, cookware, utensils, food, lighting, and water or treat water from the nearby stream. Propane for the furnace is provided. The cabin serves as a public warming shelter from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wildlife in the area includes black bear, deer, wolves, and grouse. Maximum stay is two consecutive nights, and the cabin is heavily used year-round with very high demand.
