Winter Weather Advisory issued March 1 at 6:52AM AKST until March 2 at 9:00AM AKST by NWS Juneau AK
...ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOWFALL EXPECTED SUNDAY FOR CENTRAL PANHANDLE... The active weather pattern continues through Sunday as remnants of yesterday's storm continues to dissipate. Split flow will develop as an incoming front stalls across the central panhandle, with cold strong northerly outflow winds developing across the northern inner channels and warmer southerly winds across the southern panhandle. This sets the stage for portions of the central and southern panhandle to see moderate to heavy snowfall by Sunday afternoon through Sunday evening as another surge of moisture pushes into the area. A transition to a rain snow mix is expected through Monday morning with a transition to rain by Monday afternoon as temperatures increase. Main forecast challenge is potential for temperatures to warm up quicker than expected through Sunday night and into Monday morning with the front moving further north, limiting snowfall accumulations. * WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 4 to 8 inches. * WHERE...City and Borough of Sitka and Western Kupreanof Island and Kuiu Island. * WHEN...Until 9 AM AKST Monday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be difficult. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Heaviest snowfall rates are expected by Sunday afternoon through Sunday night. Snow ratios will decrease through Sunday night as warm air pushes northward with a transition to a mixed precipitation through late Monday morning.

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.
