...A POTENTIALLY POWERFUL STORM ON THE WAY... A POWERFUL STORM IS ANTICIPATED TO DEVELOP IN THE NORTH PACIFIC STARTING SUNDAY NIGHT. THE LOW WILL TRACK NORTHWARD INTO BRISTOL BAY MONDAY NIGHT. WIDESPREAD STRONG WINDS AND LOCAL HEAVY RAIN FROM THE BRISTOL BAY TO SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA ARE ANTICIPATED WITH THIS STORM. THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR ALONG WESTERN TURNAGAIN ARM AND HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF ANCHORAGE AND EAGLE RIVER. HOWEVER...MOST PLACES MAY SEE A PERIOD OF STRONG GUSTY WINDS AS THIS SYSTEM PASSES THROUGH. WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THE POTENTIAL FOR THIS STORM THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS AND THERE ARE INDICATIONS FROM GUIDANCE THAT THE STORM IS MORE CERTAIN. THE WINDS THAT MAY DEVELOP FROM THIS STORM ARE A BIT EARLY IN THE SEASON. THE GROUND IS NOT FROZEN YET AND COULD LEAD TO DOWNED TREES IF THE WINDS DEVELOP AND COULD RESULT IN POWER OUTAGES. THE HIGHER LIKELIHOOD IS THAT HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THIS STORM...WHICH WILL CAUSE RISES ON RIVERS AND STREAMS. PERSONS ENGAGED IN OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES NEAR RIVERS AND STREAMS SHOULD REMAIN ALERT FOR RISING WATER LEVELS. STAY TUNED TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FOR THE LATEST FORECASTS AND WARNINGS ON THIS STORM. $$
