.SYNOPSIS FOR SOUTHEAST ALASKA INNER CHANNELS COASTAL WATERS...
High pressure persists over the central gulf through mid next
week at least. NW winds of fresh to strong breezes, 17 to
27 kts, continue along the eastern gulf coast. These winds will
persist through the weekend into the start of the week, due to a
tightening pressure gradient. Winds are expected to remain on
the lighter side for the Inner Channels aside from afternoon sea
breezes.
