The wider storm
A strong Gulf of Alaska low coupled with deep cold arctic air and high pressure of the Alaska mainland produced the typical strong cold advection outflow gap winds along the coast. Winds peaked at 97 mph in Valdez. Strong wind in Palmer blew the roof off one house and blew over a stop light. Along with the strong wind, humidity was extremely low and the lack of snow cover resulted in extreme wild fire danger. A vehicle crash and fire spread to the grass and neighboring homes and forest. A downed power line started a fire. This required incident response from the Department of Natural Resources Forestry to extinguish the wild fires.
