A return to seasonal conditions can be expected for some, with overnight lows set to drop back below zero for the Interior
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The damaging winds that affected Southcentral Sunday have died down, with gusts up to 40 mph expected Monday. While these winds usually won’t cause any issues, any debris could blow in gusts today. Statewide, we continue to see gusty conditions with well-above-average warmth. We will begin to see a return to cooler weather this week, with some areas seeing snow in the forecast. It’s shaping up to be a cooler week before another warming trend arrives this weekend.
Expect highs to remain in the 20s for most of this week, with a gradual warming trend into the weekend.48-hour rainfall totals over the Southeast paint a swath of .5 to 1.5 inches of rain. This persistent flow of moisture will stay with us today and tomorrow where we could see one to three inches of rain. While sea level will primarily see rain, higher elevations will see snow.
Any light snow the Interior sees will taper off by Tuesday, with high pressure expected to lead to even colder conditions. By Tuesday night, we’ll see overnight lows drop back below zero. It’s possible some parts of the Interior will drop back near -30 later this week. This will be another short-lived cold snap as warmer weather looks to arrive into the weekend.Like the rest of the state, warmer weather has built into the Slope.
