Special Weather Statement issued September 18 at 11:29AM AKDT by NWS Juneau AK
Heavy rain and strong winds are expected to start later today 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. 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 gulf coast seeing wind gusts up to around 45 mph. Check back for more updates through the weekend.

About
Raven Cabin, formerly known as Middle Situk South Cabin, sits on relatively flat terrain in old-growth forest of spruce, hemlock, and cottonwood along the Situk River. The river itself is not visible from the cabin but is nearby. The area supports large populations of moose and brown bears, with bald eagles and ravens common throughout. The Situk River offers outstanding fishing for rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, and steelhead, as well as sockeye, pink, king, and coho salmon. Moose hunting in the area ranges from good to excellent. Visitors can bring inflatable rafts, kayaks, and canoes; guided boating trips and rentals are available from nearby lodges. The river can be dangerous for inexperienced boaters. Visitors must bring their own water, heating fuel (#1 diesel or kerosene), sleeping bags, cookware, flashlights, toilet paper, garbage bags, and fire extinguisher. All trash must be packed out. Food should be stored properly to minimize bear conflicts.
Directions
Located 8 air miles east of Yakutat on the east bank of Situk River. From Nine Mile Bridge on Forest Highway 10, hike the 3-mile trail or boat 3.2 miles downriver (approximately 1.5-hour float). The cabin is 9.6 miles upriver from Situk Landing at the terminus of Lost River Road. A Forest Service-maintained airstrip (1,800 feet long, 50 feet wide) is about 300 feet from the cabin.
