.SYNOPSIS FOR SOUTHEAST ALASKA INNER CHANNELS COASTAL WATERS...
Southerly to easterly winds will continue as a strong low lifts
north into the Gulf. This will increase winds across the gulf
and inner channels to around 30 to 40 kts tonight into Sunday.
This low will allow for high significant sea heights with areas
seeing 15 to 20 ft in the gulf. This low will slowly diminish
late Sunday into Monday allowing for a lull in wind before the
next system approaches late Monday into Tuesday.
