The wider storm

Strong high pressure over interior Alaska combined with low pressure in the Gulf of Alaska resulted in the typical strong outflow gap winds through the Chugach Mountains. The peak wind was around 74 mph in Valdez and likely was gusting to 80 mph out of the Copper River Delta. Strong wind funneled out of Portage Pass into Whittier as wind was measured to 70 mph.
