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
Kadake Bay Cabin provides a secluded wilderness experience in southeast Alaska's Tongass National Forest. The modified hunter-style cabin sits at the mouth of Kadake Creek on northeastern Kuiu Island, surrounded by grassy tidal flats and low-elevation old-growth forest. The cabin sleeps up to six people with one double bunk, one single bunk, and a loft. It is equipped with an oil stove (requiring kerosene or #1 diesel fuel), a wooden table, benches, and basic tools. An outhouse with a removable basket system is provided outside. Access to the cabin requires careful planning due to extreme tidal fluctuations. Visitors can reach the site by float plane from Petersburg (39 miles) or by boat from Kake (13 miles). An 18-foot tide or higher is required for direct access; lower tides may require up to a 2-mile walk across mud flats. The remote location demands self-sufficiency: guests must bring their own fuel, drinking water, sleeping bags, cooking equipment, and all food. Water from Kadake Creek must be treated or boiled before consumption. The area is renowned for its fishing and hunting opportunities. Anglers can find coho and pink salmon, steelhead, Dolly Varden, and cutthroat trout in Kadake Creek. Hunters pursue black bears and waterfowl in the surrounding terrain. Wildlife viewing is excellent, with opportunities to observe waterfowl, grouse, and black bears. The combination of tidal flats and old-growth forest creates diverse habitat. Visitors should be aware of bear safety, consult tide tables before arrival, and note that high levels of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning have been recorded in local clams. This is an extremely remote wilderness location requiring proper preparation and outdoor skills.
Directions
Access by float plane from Petersburg (39 miles) or boat from Kake (13 miles). An 18-foot tide or higher is required for direct access to the cabin; lower tides may require up to a 2-mile walk across mud flats. Consult tide tables before traveling. Refer to USGS topographic maps Petersburg D6, C6 and Port Alexander D1.
