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
Oliver Inlet State Marine Park encompasses 560 acres at the northern tip of Seymour Canal on Admiralty Island, approximately 19 miles south of Juneau. This pristine marine park is accessible only by boat or float plane, with boat access requiring tides of at least 10 feet to clear the constricted entrance and rock reef. The park features a reservable public use cabin, primitive camping areas, and a unique 3/4-mile hand-powered tramway system that allows visitors to portage gear and small watercraft between Oliver Inlet and Seymour Canal. Seymour Canal boasts the greatest known concentration of nesting bald eagles in the world and hosts one of Southeast Alaska's largest brown bear populations. Marine mammals including seals, sea lions, and whales utilize the canal throughout the year, while trumpeter swans, whistling swans, and migrating waterfowl rest along its shores. The park offers exceptional opportunities for fishing, hunting, wildlife viewing, photography, and kayaking in a truly remote wilderness setting. Summer temperatures average 55 to 70 degrees, though high humidity and frequent rainfall characterize the region's maritime climate.
