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
The Nooya Lake shelter is a three-sided Adirondack-style shelter located on the edge of Nooya Lake within the Misty Fjords National Monument Wilderness. This remote shelter offers stunning views and opportunities for wildlife observation in one of Alaska's most spectacular wilderness areas. The shelter sits in the north arm of Rudyerd Bay, which opens off the east shore of the Behm Canal. Access to the shelter is by floatplane or boat only, making this a true wilderness experience. The shelter is located in the flight seeing path of floatplanes, so visitors should expect heavy daytime plane traffic from May through August. A pit toilet is available on-site, but visitors must bring all their own water as potable water is not available. The shelter is available on a first-come, first-served basis at no charge, with no advance reservations required or accepted. This is one of five three-sided shelters available in the Misty Fjords National Monument, offering experienced wilderness campers a rare opportunity to experience Southeast Alaska's coastal rainforest and glacier-carved landscapes.
