Confidence remains high that a storm force low will move into the
gulf Monday, bringing widespread sustained southeasterly severe-
gales to our gulf and coastal waters, increasing to storm force as
the front nears the coastline. Fresh seas of 30ft to 35ft are
expected.
Winds and waves decrease Wednesday but another strong system will
move into the gulf Thursday.
Mariners operating in the inner channels late Monday and Tuesday
can expect near-gale to gale force southeasterly winds for
exposed areas like Chatham and Clarence, and fresh to strong
breezes for inland channels such as Stephens Passage and Lynn
Canal.
