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
Frosty Bay Cabin sits 36 miles south of Wrangell on the south shore of Frosty Bay along the Cleveland Peninsula mainland. This 14' x 16' hunter-style cabin with half loft features 2 single bunks and 2 double bunks sleeping up to 6 guests, plus a table, benches, and an oil heater. A small wrap-around deck provides views of Frosty Bay and Deer Island across Seward Passage. The area is known for high-density brown bear populations, along with black bears, moose, and Sitka black-tailed deer. Anglers will find excellent fishing for King salmon from May to July, pink salmon in July and August, and silver salmon in August and September. Crabbing, halibut, and shrimping are available in nearby saltwater. A 600-foot surfaced planked trail from the cabin connects to an unmaintained 10-mile road system built in the early 1990s, offering hiking and hunting access during designated seasons. The surrounding Tongass National Forest rainforest is primarily Sitka spruce and western hemlock with some cedar, set against hills and mountains reaching 2,800 feet elevation. Access requires float plane (32 miles) or boat (36 miles) from Wrangell. A mooring buoy is anchored in the bay for cabin guests only, and Frosty Bay offers good anchorages. Guests should check tide tables before arrival by boat. Visitors must bring their own bedding, cooking utensils, and #1 stove oil for heating. Water is available from a nearby stream but must be treated before use.
