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
Taku Harbor State Marine Park encompasses 700 acres of undeveloped wilderness on the eastern shore of Stephens Passage, approximately 22 miles southeast of Juneau. This natural, bowl-shaped harbor has a rich history as the former site of a major salmon cannery and continues to serve as a popular night anchorage for commercial fishing boats and small tour ships. The park is accessible only by boat or floatplane, making it a remote destination for experienced recreationists. The Tiger Olson public use cabin accommodates up to six people and can be reserved through Alaska State Parks. The harbor and surrounding waters offer excellent fishing and crabbing opportunities, while the marine environment supports diverse wildlife viewing. Boaters and kayakers frequent this destination for its protected anchorage and scenic beauty. As an undeveloped marine park, visitors should be prepared for primitive conditions and bring all necessary supplies. Surface water must be treated before drinking, and visitors should be prepared for bear encounters, wet weather, and the challenges of remote wilderness camping. The park is a favored stop for those exploring Southeast Alaska's Inside Passage by boat.
