...SIGNIFICANT SWELL IMPACTS PANHANDLE COAST MONDAY INTO 

TUESDAY...



A strong-gale force low will develop in the northern Gulf of

Alaska early Monday, bringing east to southeast winds of 35 to 45

knots along the outer coast of Southeast Alaska, with long period

westerly swell near 14 to 16 seconds moving into the eastern Gulf

of Alaska. This swell, combined with fresh seas from the east

southeast, and a full moon tidal cycle, will bring large and 

confused seas near the larger ocean entrances like Cross Sound, 

southern Chatham Strait, and western Sumner Strait. This 

significant westerly wave energy could penetrate more generally 

protected areas like Yakutat Bay, Salisbury Sound into Point 

Kakul and the western bays along Prince of Wales Island. Caution 

is advised for mariners planning to transit along the outer coast 

of Southeast Alaska, or near the larger open ocean entrances into 

the start of the week.

...THUNDERSTORMS AND WATERSPOUTS POSSIBLE THROUGH TONIGHT...



A moist and unstable air mass will bring the potential for

thunderstorms to the coastal waters through tonight. Any 

thunderstorm that forms will be capable of producing local gale 

force winds and rough seas, dangerous lightning, heavy rainfall 

with reduced visibility, and waterspouts. Mariners are encouraged 

to stay in safe harbor until the storm passes.
