.SYNOPSIS FOR NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WATERS...Southerlies accelerate
rapidly today ahead of an approaching strong storm system. Winds
will steadily increase through tonight, with widespread strong to gale
force winds into Thursday. Storm force gusts likely in the
evening and overnight across the outer waters and southern inner
waters. Isolated storm force gusts are possible around Cape
Mendocino. Winds will ease to near- gale to gale force by dawn on
Thursday, but Gale conditions will linger over the outer waters
through late Thursday. Steep, hazardous seas are likely as a NW
