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
Eagle Cabin, formerly known as Middle Situk North Cabin, sits on the east bank of the Situk River about 8 air miles east of Yakutat in Tongass National Forest. The cabin is surrounded by old-growth forest consisting of spruce, hemlock, and cottonwood with a blueberry understory. While the river is nearby, it is not visible from the cabin itself. Access to the cabin is via multiple routes: a 3-mile hiking trail from Nine Mile Bridge on Forest Highway 10, by boat (3.2 miles downriver from Nine Mile Bridge or 9.6 miles upriver from Situk Landing), or by wheeled aircraft to the Forest Service-maintained airstrip located about 300 feet from the cabin. The airstrip is 1,800 feet long and 50 feet wide. The trail is relatively flat but can flood, has numerous root wads making walking moderately difficult, and fords the Old Situk River. The Situk River is renowned for outstanding fishing opportunities, including rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, steelhead, and all five species of Pacific salmon (sockeye, pink, king, coho, and chum). Moose hunting in the area can be very good. The river is suitable for inflatable rafts, kayaks, and canoes, though it can be dangerous for inexperienced boaters. Large populations of moose and brown bears inhabit the area, and bald eagles, ravens, and gulls are commonly seen. The nearby Raven Cabin is also located in this area.
Directions
