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
Situk Lake Cabin is a remote 16x12-foot pan-abode style cabin located on the eastern shore of Situk Lake within the Russell Fjord Wilderness. The cabin sleeps four people on single bunks and includes a table, benches, picnic table, and outhouse. A multi-fuel stove is provided for heat that burns either oil or wood. The cabin sits on relatively flat terrain surrounded by old-growth Sitka spruce forest, with Mount St. Elias visible on clear days. A shallow beach sits in front of the cabin with a small stream nearby. The lake offers outstanding fishing for king, sockeye, coho and pink salmon, as well as steelhead, rainbow trout and Dolly Varden. Visitors can use the cabin's skiff with oars. The Mountain Lake Trail starts from the cabin for a round-trip hike of 4 miles through old-growth forest, mountain streams and lakes, with access to the Brabazon Mountains. Local wildlife includes brown and black bears, moose, bald eagles and trumpeter swans. The Situk Lake Trail winds 3 miles to the cabin through old-growth forest and muskeg with mountain views. Hunting is allowed in designated seasons with a permit.
Directions
Located 14 miles northeast of Yakutat on the eastern shore of Situk Lake. Access by floatplane or via the 3-mile Situk Lake Trail starting at the end of East Gate Road. The trail can be very wet and winds through old-growth forest and muskeg.
