A strong fall storm will move into the Gulf Friday, bringing storm
force winds to the coast, with gusts reaching hurricane force
south of Cape Suckling. Regarding timing, expect southeasterly
gales along the coast by Friday afternoon, with peak storm force
winds overnight into Saturday morning. Fresh southeast seas near
30 ft, to potentially 35 ft, are expected Saturday morning,
transitioning to 20 to 25ft south- southwest swell by the evening.


Elevated winds are expected in the inner channels and Yakutat
Bay. The current forecast reflects severe gales overnight Friday
into Saturday for Yakutat Bay. For the inner channels, expect
easterly gale force winds in Clarence Strait, Frederick Sound,
Peril Strait, and Icy Strait by early Saturday morning persisting
into the early afternoon.
