Winter Weather Advisory issued March 1 at 6:52AM AKST until March 2 at 6:00AM 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 5 to 9 inches. * WHERE...Prince of Wales Island and City and Borough of Wrangell. * WHEN...Until 6 AM AKST Monday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning commute. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Highest snowfall totals will remain on the northern side of Prince of Wales Island and upper elevations near Wrangell. 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
Kegan Cove Cabin offers visitors a unique wilderness lodging experience on Prince of Wales Island in southeastern Alaska. Built in 2010 by a volunteer crew, this 16x18-foot yellow cedar and Sitka spruce log cabin sits in a protected saltwater cove on Moira Sound, surrounded by coastal Sitka spruce and western hemlock forest. The cabin is equipped with wooden bunkbeds for up to six people, a wood stove for heat, a table, benches, cooking counter, shelves, cupboard space, and an outhouse. The location is prime for anglers, with both saltwater and freshwater fishing available. Salmon runs draw anglers and black bears to nearby Kegan Creek, while rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, dolly varden, char, and salmon populate the area's lakes, streams, and ponds. An easy half-mile trail along Kegan Creek connects the cove to Kegan Lake. The site is accessible only by boat or float plane at high tide, located 30 air miles from Ketchikan and 51 air miles from Craig. A mooring buoy is available on a first-come, first-served basis. At low tide, a 100-foot tidal flat emerges in front of the cabin. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, with eagles, shorebirds, Sitka black-tailed deer, and black bears commonly seen. Visitors must be self-sufficient, bringing their own water, food, sleeping bags, cooking gear, and supplies for 2-5 extra days in case of weather delays.
