...STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY WIND GUSTS ALONG THE WESTERN KENAI
PENINSULA THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING...

Strong southwesterly winds will develop early Friday morning and
continue into Friday afternoon in the wake of a frontal system
moving east across the region. The strongest wind gusts will range
between 30 and 45 mph, with the strongest gusts focused along the
immediate coast from Anchor Point north to Nikiski. Other
locations, including Homer, Soldotna, and Kenai could see gusts as
high as 40 mph. Winds are then expected to diminish in intensity
by Friday evening as the front continues to exit the region.

People are urged to secure loose objects that could be blown
around by the strong winds and use caution while traveling. Trees
are still fully leafed and will be unusually vulnerable to damage
from the strong winds. Localized power outages will be possible
due the potential for strong winds to bring down tree branches
onto power lines.
