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
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.
