Confidence is increasing in the arrival of a deep low in the Gulf of Alaska early next week. We are anticipating a 940 to 960 mb low to move into the southern Gulf by Monday afternoon, with a broad wind field of storm force winds encompassing much of the Gulf. Gusts to hurricane force will be possible along with potential seas of 35 feet or higher in the Gulf offshore zones. At this time, there is less certainty in the exact track of the low, which will determine the impact level for nearshore Gulf coastal waters and Kodiak Island waters. Winds could range anywhere from 30 kts to 65 kts, depending on the storm track. Regardless, there is high confidence in the low`s timing and overall intensity. Unsettled conditions will persist into Tuesday morning as the low gradually shifts eastward toward Southeast Alaska.
