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
Kanga Bay Cabin overlooks a secluded cove off Redoubt Bay on Baranof Island in the Tongass National Forest. Built in 1998 by local volunteers and renovated in recent years, this rustic 15' x 17' Pan Abode style cabin offers an authentic remote Alaska experience. The cabin features a sleeping loft reached by staircase, a small front deck with southeast-facing views, and a mooring buoy for secure anchorage. The cabin is located just above a sloping sand-pebble beach, surrounded by dense spruce and hemlock forest. Visitors can enjoy kayaking in the protected bay, fishing for sockeye and coho salmon at Redoubt Lake (30 minutes away by boat during August), and wildlife viewing opportunities including deer, brown bear, and various seabirds. Goddard Hot Springs is approximately 20 minutes south by boat, offering public soaking pools on a first-come, first-served basis. Access requires a 10-minute floatplane ride or 40-minute boat ride from Sitka. Visitors must be self-sufficient and bring their own supplies, including drinking water. The cabin accommodates up to 6 people and is available year-round, weather permitting.
