The high wind warning issued for Juneau this morning expired at Noon, although strong winds remain in the forecast.

Meteorologist Richard Lam in the Juneau Forecast Office says peak winds generally ranged between 60 to 70 miles per hour.

The peak gust at South Douglas Island was 60 miles per hour at 5:42 a.m.

It hit 78 miles an hour atop the Federal Building at 6 a.m.

There was a gust to 93 miles atop the Mt. Roberts Tram.

The grand daddy of them was a gust to 134 miles per hour at Eaglecrest at 6 a.m.

Strong winds remain in the forecast through 9 tonight.

Gusts to 45 miles are predicted.

Listeners in the Mendenhall Valley e-mailed the studios this morning to report a tree from the neighbor's yard blew on to their house.

Galen and Donna Goutermont report the tree was along the entire length of their house after a wind gust blew it off the roof.

They planned to check out the damage after sunrise and start cutting up firewood.
