.SYNOPSIS FOR THE EASTERN GULF OF ALASKA...

High pressure resides in the Gulf, which will persist through

tonight before a low moves up the Alaska Peninsula and into the

Western Gulf by Friday morning. This low is expected to track

north towards Prince Williams Sound and will bring an increase

in winds within the central Gulf and south of the Panhandle,

from Cape Decision towards Dixon Entrance. High pressure again

dominates the Gulf at the start of the weekend.
