A series of Gulf lows will build very high seas along the Southeast Alaska coast starting on Tuesday. A band of storm force southwest wind with a very long fetch south of the Gulf Wednesday night will drive a larger southwest swell into the eastern Gulf. This swell will arrive late Wednesday night in the 20 ft range. The swell is likely to persist into the mid 20s and lower 30s on Friday. Mariners should plan on these heavy seas to affect operations this week and stay tuned to the latest forecasts concerning this event. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1720: Cloudy, precipitation over parts of the mainland, Granite Creek area partially obscured, murky around the top of Mt.

The National Weather Service in Juneau has issued a Winter Storm Watch...which is in effect from late Wednesday night through Thursday morning. Heavy snow will likely fall over a majority of the northern and central Panhandle Wednesday night through Thursday morning. Storm totals for this system range from 5 to 7 inches during this time. A low developing tonight over the northern Pacific will tap into a tropical moisture source and track north across the central Gulf through Thursday afternoon. The associated front will spread warmer air across the Panhandle and eventually change the snow to rain. Storm totals for most locations within the Winter Storm Watch area are only averaging around 6 inches. However...this snowfall is expected to be very heavy and wet and will be difficult to manage due to high water content. A watch means conditions are favorable for the development of winter storm conditions in and close to the watch area. Preparation for this hazardous weather event should begin now. This statement will be updated by 500 am akdt Wed or sooner if conditions warrant.
