.SYNOPSIS FOR SOUTHEAST ALASKA INNER CHANNELS COASTAL WATERS...
A weak trough will increase outer coastal winds through tonight.
Inner channels will see light and variable winds until another
system reaches us later this weekend. Once again, a trough will
stretch across the Gulf of Alaska keeping winds elevated along
the outer coast and bringing them up in the channels. Active
weather then continues into the start of the week.
