.SYNOPSIS FOR THE EASTERN GULF OF ALASKA...
A ridge of high pressure over the gulf will persist to the end

gradient between the gulf and the panhandle. This gradient will
keep winds elevated west of Prince of Wales Island into Dixon
Entrance this morning. Daily sea breeze development will
increase winds over parts of the inner channels.
