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
The Yunshookuh Loop Campsite is a fully accessible campground situated on Wrangell Island in the Tongass National Forest, approximately 14 miles south of Wrangell. Accessible via Zimovia Highway and Forest Road 6267 (Nemo-Skip Loop Road), the site is located at milepost 0.7 along the Nemo-Skip Loop. This campground accommodates both RV and tent camping across three group sites, though no hookups are available. A shared outhouse facility serves all sites, and a 12' x 16' covered picnic shelter is centrally located at the middle site. The campground offers scenic views of Zimovia Strait and experiences light usage throughout the year. The site is particularly popular during winter months for sledding on the access roadway when snow conditions limit vehicle access to ATVs, snowmachines, or skis and snowshoes. The fully accessible design ensures that visitors of varying abilities can enjoy this remote camping experience in Southeast Alaska's rainforest environment.
