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
Point Bridget State Park encompasses 2,850 acres of stunning Southeast Alaska wilderness on Lynn Canal, 40 miles north of Juneau. Created by the Alaska State Legislature in 1988, the park offers meadows, cliffs, spectacular views, salmon spawning streams, rocky beaches, and coastal rainforest. The park provides three backcountry public-use cabins: Blue Mussel Beach Cabin, Cowee Meadow Cabin, and Camping Cove Cabin, each accommodating up to 8 people. The Point Bridget Trail system covers approximately 8 miles, beginning with packed gravel that descends into rainforest muskeg. About 1.4 miles from the trailhead, hikers encounter beaver meadows with unique wetlands. Horse Meadow features spectacular wildflowers peaking in late June. The trail continues to Cowee Meadow Cabin, where a short planked trail leads to scenic shoreline. Blue Mussel Cabin lies another 0.8 miles through forest paralleling cliffy coastline. Cedar Lake sits 380 feet above sea level, accessible via a more primitive trail section. In winter, the meadows and open forest provide excellent skiing and snowshoeing opportunities. The park offers outstanding wildlife viewing, particularly bears during salmon spawning season from June through October.
Directions
From Juneau Airport, take Shell Simmons Drive to Glacier Highway and turn left. Continue on Egan Drive which becomes Glacier Highway. The trailhead is located at milepost 38.5 of Glacier Highway, approximately 40 miles north of Juneau. Also accessible by boat via Lynn Canal to Amalga Harbor or Echo Cove.
