Special Weather Statement issued September 18 at 3:04PM AKDT by NWS Juneau AK
Heavy rain and strong winds are expected to continue through this evening and last through the weekend as multiple strong low pressure systems move into the northern gulf. These lows will bring multiple days of moderate to heavy rain, with around 1.5 to 3 inches of rain every 24 hours. Some areas, especially near Yakutat and along the gulf coast, could see localized areas reach around 4 inches of rain in 24 hours. Heaviest rain rates are anticipated late Saturday into Sunday with hourly rates of 0.15 to 0.3 inches possible. This heavy rain will likely cause rapid river rises along smaller rivers and streams, but no flooding is expected at this time for areas outside the flood watch. Along with this heavy rain, increased winds are highly likely across the area. Strongest winds are anticipated to occur late Saturday into Sunday with 30 to 40 kts, gusts to 50 kts across the gulf and 20 to 35 kts, gusts around 40 to 50 kts across the northern inner channels. Land winds will also increase, with areas especially along the central gulf coast seeing wind gusts up to around 45 mph. Check back for more updates through the weekend.

About
Point Bridget State Park encompasses 2,850 acres of coastal wilderness featuring meadows, rocky beaches, salmon streams, and spectacular views of the Lynn Canal and Chilkat Mountains. Located 39 miles north of Juneau at Mile 38.5 Glacier Highway, the park provides a true backcountry experience just a short drive from Alaska's capital city. Three public-use cabins offer overnight accommodations: Cowee Meadow Cabin, Blue Mussel Beach Cabin, and Camping Cove Cabin. Each rustic 12x16 or 14x18 foot structure includes wooden sleeping platforms, a kerosene stove for heating, chairs, a table, fire ring, picnic table, and an outhouse. Water must be purified from nearby creeks or melted from snow in winter. Visitors must pack in all supplies including kerosene fuel (minimum 1 gallon per day, more in winter). The trail system covers approximately 8 miles through temperate rainforest and muskeg. Summer access is via hiking or boating from Amalga Harbor or Echo Cove. Winter visitors can ski or snowshoe the trails. Wildlife viewing opportunities include bears, whales, seals, and salmon in spawning season. The 3-night maximum stay limit applies to all cabins.
Directions
From Juneau, drive north on Glacier Highway (Veterans Memorial Highway) approximately 39 miles to the Point Bridget State Park trailhead at Mile 38.5. The cabins require a 3-4 mile hike from the trailhead. Alternatively, access by boat from Amalga Harbor or Echo Cove.
