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...From noon today to 9 AM AKST Monday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be difficult.

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.
Directions
