The U.S. Coast Guard said Sunday it was searching for five people after a fishing boat capsized in cold seas near Point Cooverden, southwest of Juneau, the Alaska capital.
The Coast Guard announced the search Sunday morning, and responders may face difficult conditions because part of the area in the Gulf of Alaska is under a winter storm warning.
The Coast Guard did not provide further details or immediately respond to calls and emails, but said it would provide information as it became available.
