AVIATION

/through 06z Tuesday/ Front continues to push across the Gulf of Alaska this evening, with a diminishing IFR marine layer along the coastal terminals. Moving through tonight, southern terminals will see gradual decrease in conditions to MVFR or worse as rain overspread the panhandle through 00z Tuesday with CIGS AoB 2000ft and visbys 2 to 3 sm within heavier rain.

A Gulf system continues to move northeast, bringing rains and lower cigs across the panhandle. Most sites in the northern panhandle will be IFR/MVFR with cigs sitting around 1-3kft for most of the night. Expect a touch of lifting with daybreak, and as the day wears on Monday rain will dry up for the far northern portions of the panhandle (PAYA/PAHN/PAGY). Some vsby concerns will remain later on Monday towards the central panhandle as rain continues and with that MVFR cigs as well.

Winds will be blowing strongly up Lynn Canal, poising Haines for gusts up to 20kts at times, and Skagway with potential to 30kts at times Monday.

MARINE

Outside: A 1022mb high pressure continues to take residence over the Gulf, with confidence increasing that it will stick around through at least mid next week. Accompanying this high pressure is broad westerly to northwesterly winds in the NE gulf coast down to Dixon Entrance. Low clouds and mist/patchy fog with visibilities less than 3 miles are possible. Not expecting wind speeds to exceed 15 knot sustained, nor wave heights to exceed 4 ft through Monday.

Inside: Conditions across the inner waters continue to remain calm, with winds generally not exceeding 10 knots. With a lack of driving force for change, seeing a rinse and repeat pattern for the next few days. The only windy spot being Taiya Inlet, which may reach up to 15 knots briefly during the afternoon period.
