Another in a series of gale force frontal waves skirts the outer coast of southeast Alaska on the night of 2/20 and the morning of 2/21. Surface analysis showed extreme pressure gradients as the associated front came up to the coast but the orientation was for a more offshore flow that mitigated the wind somewhat. No damage was reported.
