.SYNOPSIS FOR THE EASTERN GULF OF ALASKA...

A storm force low off the northeast gulf coast has sent a strong

cold front into the outer coast of the panhandle Saturday

afternoon, bringing widespread gale force conditions through the

coastal waters and into the inner channels. A narrow band of

storm force conditions along the southern edge of the low center

will likely make landfall along the Chichagof coast, with

strongest winds funneling into Cross Sound. Winds quickly

diminish by Sunday morning with onshore flow and heavy snow

showers.
