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
Suloia Lake Cabin sits on the western shore of Suloia Lake on Chichagof Island in the West Chichagof-Yakobi Wilderness Area, 30 miles northwest of Sitka, Alaska. The current cabin was built and donated by the Carl Eurich family in memory of their son, replacing an older cabin on the east shore. This rustic 12' x 14' Pan Abode style cabin accommodates up to 6 people and features plywood bunks, a table and benches, a wood stove for heat, and a skiff with oars for exploring the lake. The cabin is surrounded by dense forest of cedar, spruce and hemlock with a small gravel beach in front. Suloia Lake sits at an elevation of 225 feet and is about 2 miles long by half a mile wide, with forested mountain ridges rising to 2,600 feet. The area offers wilderness solitude, fishing for rainbow trout and Dolly Varden (though fishing is slow), and deer hunting opportunities. The Suloia Trail leads from Suloia Bay to the old cabin site on the eastern shore, but no trail connects to this cabin and bushwhacking the shoreline is difficult. Brown bear frequent the area. This is a true wilderness site accessible only by floatplane, weather permitting. The 20-minute flight from Sitka is the only access. Visitors must be completely self-sufficient and pack out all garbage. The facility receives minimal maintenance.
Directions
Located 30 air miles northwest of Sitka on the southern tip of Chichagof Island within the West Chichagof-Yakobi Wilderness Area. Access by floatplane only, approximately 20 minutes from Sitka. Refer to USGS topographic map Sitka B-6.
