A strong low will impact the southeastern Gulf, southern coastal
waters, and far southern inner channels early Tuesday afternoon
through late Tuesday night, bringing sustained Gales with Storm
Force gusts to marine areas near the Dixon Entrance, Southern
Clarence Strait, and coastal areas around southern Prince of Wales
Island.

This first storm will begin to lift north and move towards Haida
Gwaii through Tuesday afternoon, passing over Haida Gwaii by
Tuesday night. The winds around this low will begin to be more easterly
as the low approaches through Tuesday night, before the wind is
expected to shift to a more northeasterly to northerly direction
by early Wednesday morning as the low moves inland.

After this first system, additional rounds of strong systems will
move quickly through the Gulf through Friday, once again bringing
strong gales or greater to the southern coastal panhandle. Stay
