High Wind Watch
Statement as of 5:19 am AKST on November 22, 2009

... High wind watch in effect from Monday afternoon through late
Monday night along Turnagain Arm and higher elevations...

The National Weather Service in Anchorage has issued a high wind
watch... which is in effect from Monday afternoon through late
Monday night.

A strong storm over the northeast Pacific this morning will track
northward across the western Gulf of Alaska tonight and then
move to somewhere in the vicinity of Cook Inlet on Monday before
heading inland Monday night. This storm has the potential to
produce east winds up to 80 mph along Turnagain Arm and higher
elevations sometime during the period from Monday afternoon
through late Monday night.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A high wind watch means there is the potential for a hazardous
high wind event. People are encouraged to closely monitor this
weather situation. Preparation for this potentially dangerous
weather event should begin now.

Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 6:30 am AKST on November 22, 2009

... Major storm will impact southcentral Alaska beginning Sunday
night...

A major storm will cross the western Gulf Sunday night and move into
Cook Inlet by Monday before heading inland Monday night. As a result
both high winds and snow will impact much of southcentral Alaska
beginning Sunday night.

A high wind watch is in effect for Portage Valley and eastern
Turnagain Arm late Sunday night through Monday afternoon. A high
wind watch is also in effect along western Turnagain Arm and higher
elevations in Anchorage Monday afternoon through Monday night. The
heaviest snowfall is expected across higher elevations of western
Prince William Sound... including Turnagain Pass... where up to two
feet of snow is possible. The combination of snow and wind will
make travel along the Seward Highway treacherous.

Although the Anchorage bowl and Matanuska Valley are not expected to
see much precipitation out of this system... strong winds will likely
move in to these areas late Monday as the storm tracks inland.
