...GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS LATE TODAY THROUGH MONDAY MORNING ALONG KNIK ARM AND NORTH TO WEST ANCHORAGE... Northerly winds will gradually strengthen late this afternoon through tonight and peak during the day Sunday before slowly diminishing Sunday night through Monday. Wind gusts of 35 to 45 mph are likely, though there may be a few stronger gusts on JBER. The areas most likely to see winds include the portions of Chugiak and Birchwood west of the Parks Highway, JBER and Government Hill, Downtown Anchorage and all of west Anchorage. For the rest of Anchorage and Eagle River, winds will be much lighter. As winds ramp up, the light and powdery snow on the ground will easily blow around, leading to reduced visibility at times along area roads. Plan ahead and prepare by securing loose items, adjusting travel plans as necessary, and monitoring the forecast for any updates.
