Travel will be difficult. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A strong, quick moving system, is going to push through the Gulf of Alaska Tuesday into Wednesday. This low will allow for winds to quickly increase Tuesday afternoon, first over southern portions of the panhandle then moving northward. The central panhandle is most likely to see the strongest wind gusts from 9 pm Tuesday to 3 am Wednesday. This timing can change as the system moves closer. Confidence has increased in the system bringing very strong wind gusts around 60 mph, but stronger gusts could occur if the low tracks closer to the panhandle.
