Winter Weather Advisory issued March 1 at 2:45PM AKST until March 2 at 6:00AM AKST by NWS Juneau AK
...MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SNOWFALL EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY WEEK... The active weather pattern continues with split flow developing as an incoming front stalls across the central panhandle, with cold strong northerly outflow winds across the northern inner channels and warmer southerly winds across the southern panhandle. Portions of the central and southern panhandle will see moderate to heavy snowfall through Sunday evening as another surge of moisture pushes into the area. A transition to a rain snow mix is expected through Monday morning for the southern panhandle up to Sumner Strait. 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. Another system will bring more accumulating snow to the panhandle Monday night into Tuesday night. The track of this follow up feature could lead to significant swings in snow accumulations from Frederick Sound northward to the Icy Strait corridor. * WHAT...Snow. Additional snow accumulations of up to 5 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 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
Koknuk Cabin is located on the west side of Sergief Island in the Stikine River delta, providing a unique base camp for exploring the Stikine-LeConte Wilderness. Unlike the typical rainforest setting of Southeast Alaska, this area features expansive tidal flats that offer distinctive opportunities for paddling, wildlife observation, and hunting. The 12' x 14' Pan Abode style cabin accommodates up to 4 people with 2 single bunks and 2 double bunks. Amenities include a table, benches, and an oil stove that uses #1 stove oil only. Guests must bring their own bedding, cooking utensils, and stove oil. Water is available from a catchment system but should be treated before use; bringing your own water is recommended. An outhouse is provided. The cabin sits at the fringe between tidal flats and alder and willow trees in relatively flat terrain. Wildflowers are prominent in May and June. The surrounding waters are ideal for exploring by kayak or canoe during high tide, and the area is prime habitat for waterfowl hunting in the fall. The Stikine River tidal flats serve as a major stopover for waterfowl and shorebirds during spring and fall migrations. Wildlife includes brown and black bears, bald eagles, hawks, and moose. Access is challenging, requiring a shallow draft boat and tides of 16 feet or higher, with travel distances of 10 miles from Wrangell or 8 miles from the boat ramp on the south end of Mitkof Island.
