* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A brief period of intense winds are expected
around midnight tonight as a strong front moves through the area.
Winds are expected to channel through the mountain gaps including,
but not limited to: Turnagain Arm, Ship Creek, South Fork and
Eagle River. Given the recent snow melt the ground is saturated
with water, which may promote tree damage and lead to power
outages.

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.
