High Wind Watch issued January 11 at 2:18PM AKST until January 14 at 9:00AM AKST by NWS Juneau AK

Effective: Sun January 11, 2026, 2:18 PM
Expires: Sun January 11, 2026, 11:00 PM

* WHAT...Southeast winds 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 60 mph possible. * WHERE...Glacier Bay, Eastern Chichagof Island, Cape Fairweather to Lisianski Strait, Admiralty Island and City and Borough of Juneau. * WHEN...From Tuesday evening through Wednesday morning. * IMPACTS...High winds could blow around unsecured objects, damage property and cause power outages. Travel could 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.

People are urged to secure vessels and loose objects that could be blown around or damaged by the wind.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
