...STRONG GUSTY WINDS LIKELY FOR THE ANCHORAGE HILLSIDE AND UPPER
EAGLE RIVER THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...

A strong frontal system will bring an increase in winds across 
Turnagain Arm and higher elevations, including the Anchorage 
Hillside and Upper Eagle River. While winds are finally beginning 
to increase this afternoon, expectations are for the peak winds to
be less than previously forecast. Currently expect sustained 
winds of 20 to 35 mph with potential for gusts of 45 to 55 mph, 
though isolated higher gusts will also be possible at the higher 
elevations. The peak of the strongest winds is expected to occur 
this evening through 11 PM tonight.

People are urged to secure loose objects that could be blown 
around or damaged by the wind. Prepare for the possibility of 
power outages.
