High Wind Watch until 12:00PM Tuesday
* WHAT...Southeast winds 35 to 50 mph with gusts up to 75 mph possible.
* WHERE...Anchorage Hillside.
* WHEN...From Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning.
* IMPACTS...High winds could move loose debris, damage property, and cause power outages. Travel could be difficult, especially for high profile vehicles.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Confidence is increasing that the Anchorage Hillside, particularly east of Hillside Drive / Rabbit Creek Rd, may receive strong winds from Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning. Winds will steadily increase through the day on Monday and remain strong for several hours before diminishing Tuesday afternoon. Warm temperatures of around 40 degrees are likely to accompany the strong wind. Lower Anchorage may also receive strong wind gusts, but there remains high uncertainty with regards to how strong. A strong SE wind out of the Turnagain Arm is likely to clip south Anchorage, resulting in gusts upwards of 40 mph, mainly south of Dimond Blvd.
