Travel will be difficult. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A strong quick moving system will push through the Gulf of Alaska Tuesday into Wednesday.

Currently, the strongest wind gusts are most likely from 3 pm to 9 pm Tuesday. This timing can change as the system moves closer. Confidence has increased in the system bringing very strong wind gusts to 65 mph, but stronger gusts could occur if the low tracks closer to the panhandle. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... People are urged to secure vessels and loose objects that could be blown around or damaged by the wind.
