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
Harlequin Lake Shelter is a remote A-frame building with a wall separating the north and south halves into two distinct rooms. Located on a landing strip approximately one mile from Harlequin Lake in the Yakutat Ranger District of Tongass National Forest, this shelter serves as a basecamp for backcountry adventures in a lightly-used area of southeast Alaska. Access requires driving the 32-mile Forest Highway 10 (Dangerous River Road) to its terminus, followed by a half-mile hike along a maintained trail that leads up to the airstrip where the shelter sits. The road is not maintained during winter months but remains accessible by snowmobile for winter recreationists with adequate fuel supplies. The surrounding area provides excellent opportunities for hiking, berry picking, ATV riding, snowmobiling, hunting, and some fishing. The shelter operates on a first-come, first-served basis year-round and features a pit toilet. Visitors must bring their own water as no potable water is available on-site.
Directions
Located at the end of Forest Highway 10 (Dangerous River Road), approximately 32 miles from Yakutat. From the end of the road, take the trail to the right that leads up onto the airstrip. The shelter is a half-mile hike from the trailhead. Note: The road is not maintained in winter but is accessible by snowmobile.
