Special Weather Statement issued September 18 at 3:04PM AKDT by NWS Juneau AK
Heavy rain and strong winds are expected to continue through this evening and last through the weekend as multiple strong low pressure systems move into the northern gulf. These lows will bring multiple days of moderate to heavy rain, with around 1.5 to 3 inches of rain every 24 hours. Some areas, especially near Yakutat and along the gulf coast, could see localized areas reach around 4 inches of rain in 24 hours. Heaviest rain rates are anticipated late Saturday into Sunday with hourly rates of 0.15 to 0.3 inches possible. This heavy rain will likely cause rapid river rises along smaller rivers and streams, but no flooding is expected at this time for areas outside the flood watch. Along with this heavy rain, increased winds are highly likely across the area. Strongest winds are anticipated to occur late Saturday into Sunday with 30 to 40 kts, gusts to 50 kts across the gulf and 20 to 35 kts, gusts around 40 to 50 kts across the northern inner channels. Land winds will also increase, with areas especially along the central gulf coast seeing wind gusts up to around 45 mph. Check back for more updates through the weekend.

About
Dan Moller Cabin offers a backcountry experience on Douglas Island, just 3.5 miles southwest of Juneau in the Tongass National Forest. The two-level cedar cabin sits at 1,800 feet elevation surrounded by snow-capped peaks and alpine meadows near Kowee Creek. Views from the front deck reveal the dramatic mountain scenery of central Douglas Island. Wildlife in the area includes black bear, deer, grouse, and wolves. The cabin accommodates up to seven people with a double bunk and single bunk downstairs and four single bunks in the sleeping loft. Amenities include a propane wall furnace (propane provided), wood stove, table with benches, covered decks, and an outside pit toilet. Visitors must bring their own sleeping bags, pads, cook stove, cookware, food, water, lantern, toilet paper, garbage bags, and fire extinguisher. Access requires a 3-mile hike along the Dan Moller Trail with an 1,800-foot elevation gain. The partially planked trail passes through muskeg and can be slippery when wet or frosty. In winter, the cabin is popular with skiers and snowshoers, though high avalanche danger exists in winter and early spring. Snowmobile access is permitted only when snow depth exceeds one foot.
