UPDATE

Updated the forecast to up the start time the Winter Storm Warnings for Yakutat and the Icy Strait Corridor to 9pm as a short wave and embedded low moving onshore out ahead of the main front are bringing moderate fluffy snow. Reports of 3 to 5 inches of snow already falling from Sitka up to Gustavus, with around 1 to 5 inches being reported in and around Juneau. Light to moderate snow will continue across the northern panhandle out ahead of the main front, which will still spread moderate to heavy snow west to east across SEAK overnight.

MARINE

Outside Waters: A strong gale force low sweeps into the panhandle Sunday night through Monday, bringing with it waveheights increasing to near 25 feet over the open Gulf Monday into Monday night, and 15-20 feet for the outer coastal waters. Widespread gale force winds are expected on Monday, then remain elevated out of the SW through the first half of the week.

Inside Waters: Outflow winds diminish through Monday as a developing low in the gulf sends a surge of warm air racing northward, bringing southeasterly near-gale force, to gale force, conditions to most of the inner channels.
