* WHAT...South to southeast winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts of up to 40
to 50 mph expected.

* WHERE...Anchorage.

* WHEN...From 7 AM Tuesday to noon AKDT Wednesday.

* IMPACTS...Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects and a few
power outages may result. Trees are still mostly green and fully
leafed, causing them to be more vulnerable to damage from the
strong winds.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A strong fall storm system moving into the
western coast of Alaska will produce a prolonged period of strong
and gusty winds across the Anchorage area.  Winds will initially
develop out of the southeast on Tuesday morning as strong winds
along the Turnagain Arm bend into town.  The strongest winds will
be focused on the south and west side of town until winds turn out
of the south and spread into the rest of the Anchorage Bowl Tuesday
afternoon.  Winds will then slowly diminish through Wednesday
morning.

Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.

Secure outdoor objects.
