.SYNOPSIS FOR SOUTHEAST ALASKA INNER CHANNELS COASTAL WATERS...
A ridge of high pressure over the gulf will persist to the end
of the week. This ridge has created a tightened pressure
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.
