.SYNOPSIS FOR SOUTHEAST ALASKA INNER CHANNELS COASTAL WATERS...
A low to the south of the panhandle will be the main contributer
to winds. Currently northerly winds continue along the south,
but they will become southerly as the low moves closer to the
panhandle. Tonight, for Clarence Strait and the southern gulf,
there may be times of increased gusts and sporadic winds due to
potential thunderstorm development. Then a ridge of high
pressure builds over the eastern gulf Tuesday, then shifts
eastward.
