Winter Storm Warning issued March 14 at 2:38PM AKDT until March 16 at 1:00PM AKDT by NWS Juneau AK
...MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOWFALL RETURNS SUNDAY INTO MONDAY... .Bands of snow showers are currently pushing into the NE Gulf as of Saturday afternoon with widely varying conditions. Advisory level snowfall rates of around 1 inch per 3 hours is expected from Yakutat to Sitka, with lighter rates inland. If snow showers train over one location for an extended period of time, visibility could drop to a half mile at times with greater accumulations. This wave of showers is separate from a stronger low pressure system that is expected to track northward across the panhandle starting Sunday morning and continuing through Monday. Steady snowfall will return with heaviest rates across the northern and central Alaska Panhandle starting Sunday morning and continuing into Monday. Current forecast snowfall accumulations within the Winter Storm Warnings are between 6 to 14 inches, with locally higher amounts expected through Monday evening. For southern panhandle communities in Winter Weather Advisories, expecting snowfall accumulations of 3 to 6 inches, highest totals within interior Prince of Wales Island. The main forecast challenge for the southern panhandle will be the timing and transition period to a rain and snow mix, or potentially all rain by Sunday afternoon with temperatures reaching into the upper 30s to low 40s along the coast as the front pushes northward, limiting potential snowfall accumulations. Snow showers will then continue behind this system with widely variable accumulations through the rest of the week. * WHAT...Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 7 to 12 inches. Winds gusting as high as 45 mph. * WHERE...Petersburg Borough. * WHEN...From 7 AM Sunday to 1 PM AKDT Monday. * IMPACTS...Plan on slippery conditions. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Current forecast has heaviest snowfall rates arriving Sunday afternoon into early Monday morning.

About
Towers Arm Cabin is one of the Petersburg Ranger District's most remote cabins, situated on Kupreanof Island at the mouth of Towers Creek on the west side of Towers Arm in Duncan Canal. The terrain surrounding the cabin is fairly flat with hills at the rear and a vast tidal flat and water's edge to the front. This location provides exceptional opportunities for waterfowl viewing and hunting, particularly from September through November, with shorebirds abundant in early May. The hunter-style cabin accommodates up to four people with four single wooden bunks, a table, benches, and a wood stove for heating and cooking. An outhouse with a pit toilet is provided. Firewood is generally supplied for wood stove use only but is not guaranteed. The cabin comes equipped with a broom, dust pan, axe, and splitting maul, though these items may occasionally be missing or damaged. Guests must bring their own sleeping bags, pads, cook stove, cooking gear, food, clothing, fire starter, and garbage bags. Access is by boat or float plane only, located 16 air miles or 38 water miles from Petersburg. A 15-foot tide is required for boat access, while a 16-foot tide is recommended for float plane access; lower tides may require up to a 2-mile hike across the tidal flat. The location offers fishing for coho salmon from August through September and steelhead trout from April through May. Hunting opportunities include bears, deer, various waterfowl, and grouse. The area is home to diverse wildlife including grouse, deer, wolves, and black bears.
