...HIGH WIND WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 AM AKST THURSDAY... * WHAT...North winds 40 to 65 mph with gusts up to 85 mph expected. Wind chills dropping to 45 below Wednesday night. * WHERE...Thompson Pass. * WHEN...Until 9 AM AKST Thursday. * IMPACTS...High winds may move loose debris, damage property, and cause power outages. Travel will be difficult. Blowing snow due to high winds will reduce visibilities to one half mile or less at times. The dangerously cold wind chills as low as 40 below zero could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...North to northeast winds will peak tonight. As winds first develop, freshly fallen snow will easily blow around, leading to near-blizzard conditions at times. As snow becomes scoured out, visibilities should improve. Winds will very slowly diminish Thursday through Friday.
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.
