A Wind Advisory has been issued for the Municipality of Skagway by the National Weather Service in Juneau AK. Residents should be prepared for southwest winds of 20 to 30 mph, with gusts reaching up to 40 mph.

The advisory is in effect from 7 AM AKDT on Thursday, October 1, until 1 PM AKDT on Thursday, October 1. While gusty winds are expected tonight, the strongest winds are anticipated Thursday morning.

These strong winds may make travel difficult. Unsecured outdoor objects could be blown around. There is a potential for tree limbs to be blown down and isolated power outages to occur. Additionally, mariners should exercise caution as strong winds could make docking high-profile vessels challenging.

Use extra caution when traveling during this period. Secure any loose outdoor items to prevent them from becoming projectiles. Stay informed about local conditions and any further updates from the National Weather Service.
