A significant wind event is forecast to affect Southeast Alaska early this week.

Additionally...very cold Arctic air will sag to the south during this time and easterly outflow winds will carry significantly colder air over the Coast Mountains and into the Panhandle Tuesday through Thursday night. The combination of strong winds and very cold overnight temperatures will likely result in single digit wind chill temperatures over the northern Inner Channels this week. Residents of Southeast Alaska should make preparations for strong winds and very cold air temperatures early and monitor National Weather Service forecast updates for possible weather watches...advisories...or warnings should they become necessary.
