...HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY CONTINUES...

Cold arctic air continues to dominate the Panhandle, forming gale
force to strong gale force outflow conditions along and north of
the Icy Strait Corridor (Cross Sound to Taku Inlet) and down into
Stephens Passage and Northern Chatham. Heavy freezing spray will
likely continue into early next week. Moderate freezing spray may
be encountered as far south as Southern Chatham and Sumner Strait.
