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
Mount Rynda Cabin sits on moderately steep riverbank at the base of Mount Rynda, overlooking the confluence of Andrews Creek and Andrews Slough. This 16-by-16-foot A-frame cabin was built in 1963 and is located within the Stikine-LeConte Wilderness in Tongass National Forest. The cabin is tucked into a forest of Sitka spruce and western hemlock, surrounded by gentle to moderate mountain slopes. The cabin accommodates up to seven people with two single bunks (one with a trundle bed) and a sleeping loft. It includes a table with benches, an oil space heater (No.1 stove oil only, not provided), and a broom. A partially covered front porch features a built-in bench and bear-proof food locker. An outhouse is located outside. Water and electricity are not provided; water from the nearby creek must be treated before use. Two miles of slow-moving, clear water near the cabin provide excellent opportunities for canoeing and kayaking up Andrews Creek at river stages over 14 feet. The cabin is frequently used by paddlers on multi-day Stikine River float trips from Telegraph Creek, BC, or the US/Canada border to Wrangell. Andrews Creek offers exceptional fishing for cutthroat trout, Dolly Varden, and king, pink, and silver salmon. The area is also popular for bear and moose hunting. Wildlife commonly seen includes brown and black bears, moose, harbor seals, gulls, and bald eagles.
Directions
Accessible by shallow draft boat or float plane, 18 miles from Wrangell. Located south of the main channel of the Stikine River at the confluence of Andrews Creek and Andrews Slough. Low river levels can limit small boat access as the Andrews Creek entrance becomes blocked. Tides of 14 feet or higher are required for shallow draft boats to cross the tide flats. Helicopter access is illegal in this wilderness area.
