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 One Duck shelter sits at the top of One Duck Trail, a steep 1.1-mile alpine trail that climbs 1,100 feet through spruce and hemlock forest before emerging into alpine terrain. This three-sided camping shelter features four sleeping platforms and a fire ring, offering protection and stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The shelter serves as an excellent base camp for exploring the alpine area, which is known for deer hunting, cross country skiing, and backcountry winter recreation. The trail was originally constructed by the Youth Conservation Corps in the mid-1980s and was reconstructed in 2010 with gravel tread, stairs, and resting benches. The site experiences light usage and operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservation system. Access is via the Hydaburg Road (paved) approximately 2.5 miles after the Hollis-Klawock Highway intersection. The parking lot is on the west side of the road while the trailhead begins on the east side. Campers should be prepared for bear country and must bring all necessary water and supplies, as no water or restroom facilities are available on site.
Directions
From the Hollis-Klawock Highway intersection, take Hydaburg Road (paved) approximately 2.5 miles. The parking lot is on the west side of the road; the trailhead starts on the east side. Hike 1.1 miles and 1,100 feet elevation gain to reach the shelter.
