* WHERE...Atka and Adak.
* WHEN...Until 7 AM AKDT Saturday.
* IMPACTS...High winds may move loose debris, damage property, and cause power outages. Travel will be difficult.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Very strong westerly winds will initiate this morning due to a deep low pressure system in the southern Bering Sea. Favored East-West channels could promote locally higher gusts. Strongest winds are expected from about noon to 3pm AKDT. A lull in the winds is expected tonight with a reinvigoration of the winds out of the west by Friday afternoon. Gusts of 60 to 70 mph are expected Friday night into Saturday morning, with winds coming down by late Saturday morning.
Instructions
People are urged to secure loose objects that could be blown around or damaged by the wind. Prepare for the possibility of widespread power outages. Use caution if you must drive.
