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
Eagle Beach State Recreation Area is a 600-acre coastal recreation area situated 27 miles north of Juneau along Glacier Highway, at the saltwater confluence of the Eagle and Herbert Rivers. The park offers stunning views of Lynn Canal, the Chilkat Mountains, and the Juneau Mountains. The campground features 16 primitive campsites nestled in a forested section of the park, with several walk-in camping options available for those seeking a more secluded experience. The park's extensive trail system covers 4 miles and includes connections to longer US Forest Service trails that extend up the valley for 6 miles. The main day-use area is fully accessible, featuring a quarter-mile paved trail and viewing scopes for wildlife observation. The white sandy coastal beach features an expansive intertidal area that provides exceptional opportunities for beachcombing, fishing, and wildlife viewing. The area is known for frequent sightings of whales, sea lions, seals, and over 200 species of birds including waterfowl, shorebirds, and seabirds. In addition to the primitive campsites, the park offers three public-use cabins, two picnic shelters, a group camping area, and a boat launch. The campground accommodates RVs up to 35 feet in length and provides vault toilets and water access during the summer season. The campground road is not plowed in winter, and vehicle access is restricted from October 1 to May 1, though the park remains open year-round for walk-in access.
