REACHING GALE FORCE IN LYNN CANAL BY LATE AFTERNOON. AT THE SAME
TIME SE WINDS WILL INCREASE TO SMCR LEVELS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
ZONES THIS AFTERNOON AND TO A SOLID GALE TONIGHT. THIS WILL
PRODUCE STRONG LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL
PANHANDLE AND WILL HELP ENHANCE LIFT TONIGHT. IN THE COASTAL
WATERS EXPECT GALE TO STROM FORCE E-SE WINDS WITH STRONG GUSTS OUT
OF INTERIOR PASSES. BEHIND THE FRONT OFFSHORE WIND SHIFT TO A LONG

MODELS IN GOOD SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT WITH MOVEMENT OF DEEP 958 MB LOW
IN WESTERN GULF BUT ARE LAGING THE SOUTHWARD MOVEMENT OF THE
COLDER AIR BASED ON OBS. THE 00Z GFS SEEMED TO HAVE BEST FIT AND
CONSISTENCY WITH 00Z UKMET AND 06Z ETA HAVING A BETTER HANDLING

PRECIP BY LATE SUN. THE 00Z GFS40 WAS THE MODEL OF CHOICE FOR THE
LONG RANGE PACKAGE AFTER COORDINATING WITH WFO PAFC.
