MARINE

Inner Waters: The inner waters will see slow improvements over Sunday morning and throughout the day. A front has made its way into the northern panhandle, and as it continues to move north, calmer winds will follow. Gales have ended, but winds of 15-20 kt will persist for much of the day in most of the inner channels, while 15-25 kts remain possible in the further inland channels south of Frederick Sound. later this afternoon should see a resurgence in winds in the northern channels as a pressure gradient increases just north of the area. Seas of 2-4 ft for the majority of the inside, but could be lower in some of the narrower passages.

Outer Waters: Similarly, conditions will slowly improve over the day Sunday. Winds of 10-20 kts for coastal areas, and 15-25 kts further out in the Gulf. the greater concern for mariners in the outer waters will be lingering seas of 7-9 ft in coastal zones and most of the Gulf, with an area of seas up to 12 ft near Cape Suckling this morning, which will begin to subside somewhat later this afternoon.
