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
Mount Flemer Cabin sits at the base of Mount Flemer among spruce trees on the bank of the Stikine River within the Stikine-LeConte Wilderness. The 16' x 16' A-frame cabin features a sleeping loft, partially covered front porch, two single bunks with one trundle, wooden table and benches, and an oil space heater requiring #1 stove oil (not provided). Spectacular views extend along the river toward the border, including Elbow and Whitehead Mountains and others in the Coast Range against a backdrop of steep granite rock. The cabin is located two miles downriver from the US/Canada border and is accessed by shallow draft boat 32 miles upriver from Wrangell. A tide of at least 14 feet is required to cross the Stikine River tide flats. A short boardwalk trail and staircase provides access from the river to the cabin. The surrounding rainforest consists primarily of Sitka spruce and western hemlock, with extensive cottonwood along the river's edge. Brown and black bears, moose, and mountain goats are common. The cabin is popular with paddlers on multi-day float trips of the Stikine River from Telegraph Creek, BC or the US/Canada border to Wrangell. Nearby sloughs and the Kikahe River provide fishing opportunities for cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden. The Stikine River serves as a migratory corridor for birds between interior forests and the coast. Guests must bring stove oil, bedding, cook stove, lanterns, utensils, and water treatment supplies. Wilderness restrictions apply.
