Windy conditions expected in the Mat-Su

February 3, 2014
A change in the weather is developing, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a special weather statement calling for high winds to develop late this week, with the highest expected in the Mat-Su.

According to the National Weather Service, high pressure is expected to build over north Alaska and the Bering Sea, which will allow the jet stream to dive south over southern Alaska well into next week.

This will result, they say, in strong northerly winds in the Mat-Su and in areas along Cook Inlet.

Blowing dust and silt may become problems, and the strong winds could increase concern over wildfire.

While forecasters are confident that high winds are coming, they have not as yet been able to predict just how high those winds will be.
