.DISCUSSION....

A moderate breeze is expected in Fredrick Sound through the
afternoon and into the evening, mainly southeast to southerly in
direction. Due to the orientation of the wind, conditions in
Murder Cove are anticipated to match the trend seen in Frederick
Sound, about 10-15kt winds from the SE to S. Wind in Keku Strait
is like around 10kts from the SE and is expected to build to about
15kts by 7pm tonight as gap winds are funneled through the area.
Mainly VFR conditions are expected to prevail through this period
with CIGs broken or scattered AoA 5,000ft. Visibility is expected
to continue to be 10 miles, but showers passing through the area
could bring visibilities down to about 6 miles with CIGs dropping
to 3,000 to 5,000ft.
