.SYNOPSIS FOR SOUTHEAST ALASKA INNER CHANNELS COASTAL WATERS...
A front continues to move south over the panhandle, before
exiting tonight. Strong breezes will persist for Lynn Canal,
with elsewhere experiencing a downward trend of both winds and
seas overnight. Higher pressure settles over the panhandle for
the week, resulting in overall lower wind speeds for the inside
waters.
