100-foot Waves Expected near Aleutian Islands
There is a monster storm in progress in the Bering Strait headed to the Aleutians that promises to generate extremely high waves today and tomorrow. The unusual shape to the Low is a partial result of two storms coming together, which resulted in this long fetch. An isolated system would be more round, with shorter fetch.
By tomorrow about 06z the wave forecasts are for 60 ft, significant wave height of combined seas (SWH).
