Today's Alaska weather forecast from Alaska's Weather Source.
ANCHORAGE , AK - Ample dry time is still with many areas of the state, as our slow climb out of the deep freeze continues. Anchorage will officially close this March as the coldest on record, with the upcoming forecast keeping highs at or above freezing.
We’re still awaiting the first official day when temperatures climb above freezing in the Interior, something that hasn’t happened since Halloween of last year.Sunny skies have been prevalent across Southcentral for the last week, with a few more days of sunny weather to be expected. Daily highs continue to warm, with afternoon highs today set to warm at or above freezing. Much like yesterday, some areas of Southcentral could see temperatures warming into the 40s. By mid-week, cloud cover will begin to slowly build back in across Southcentral, as a low moves to our south. While we’ll stay dry for Southcentral, Kodiak could see a rain/snow mix Wednesday night into Thursday. The rest of Southcentral will tap into a chance for some light snow showers into the weekend.Areas of light snow and wintry mix are tapering off for the Southeast this morning, with a period of dry and sunny weather expected today through the first half of Thursday. Currently, Juneau is seeing more than 100 inches of snow accumulation above seasonal values. This has been an exceptionally snowy season, and while March closed out as the snowiest on record, the season as a whole is also seeing the snowiest season ever recorded. Expect daily highs to remain in the 30s and 40s, with some enjoyable weather through the first half of Thursday. By Thursday evening, another low building into the Gulf of Alaska will lead to increased rain and snow for Southeast later this week and into the weekend. As we transition into April, snow chances do become harder for many areas. During the month of April, only 39% of the years bring a single day with more than an inch of snow.Temperatures continue to steadily climb in the Interior. While a few locations have managed to climb above freezing, the airport has yet to hit that 33-degree mark. We’ll come close through the week, with ample dry time and daily highs sitting in the 20s and the 30s. By week’s end, we’ll see a chance for highs to top out in the mid-30s; otherwise, expect each day to flirt with freezing.We’ll keep light snow showers around for areas of the Slope through the middle of the week, although amounts will remain fairly light. Most, if not all, locations will see less than two inches of snow accumulation. We’ll largely hold onto temperatures in the single digits and teens, with some breezy winds arriving by the latter half of this week. Western Alaska will continue to maintain dry and sunny weather. Some light snow showers are to be expected for areas of Norton Sound north towards Kotzebue and into areas of the Western Interior. Light snow accumulation of one to three inches are to be expected. Some gusty winds will return to Western Alaska beyond Wednesday, as the pressure gradient is set to tighten. This will lead to strong winds for areas of the Bering Sea, Bering Strait Coastline, Norton Sound and the Yukon Delta.An area of low pressure will sweep across the Aleutians from east to west through the middle of the week. This will keep areas of wintry mix in the forecast for parts of the Aleutians, with temperatures remaining fairly mild. We’ll hold onto daily highs in the 30s, with a return to more widespread activity and winds into the weekend.Turnagain Pass: Moderate danger at all elevation levels. Human-triggered avalanches are possible in a weak layer buried one to two feet deep.The overall trend continues to remain on the rise when it comes to temperatures for the state. While March as a whole will close out below average for the state, April looks to usher in much more seasonal weather. We’ll likely continue to hold onto our overall dry weather pattern, as April is our driest month of the year.24/7 Alaska Weather: Get access to live radar, satellite, weather cameras, current conditions, and the latest weather forecast here.
