High Wind in Juneau Borough-eastern Chichagof-admiralty Island, Alaska

On Sunday January 26, less than 48 hours after the main off shore wind event occurred across the interior of the Panhandle, a front swept inland. As the front tracked in off the Gulf, the pressure gradient was able to restrengthen and result in a 1-2 hour period of high winds. Taku winds were in down town Juneau and Douglas were the strongest measured during this event. Peak wind gusts of 74 mph were measured at the Juneau Rock Dump. Only minor damage resulted.
