... Interior Alaska warming up early next week...
A surge of cold air this weekend will be short lived as a major
pattern change occurs Monday and Tuesday across Mainland Alaska.
A cold and fairly dry disturbance aloft will move colder air over
the interior through Sunday which will persist into Monday
morning... temperatures will drop some tonight though there will be
locally brisk winds as well. On Sunday winds will diminish and
further cooling will occur at night resulting in Monday morning
low temperatures in the 30s below for the Tanana Valley and in the
40s below for the upper Yukon valley.
On Monday night a large storm in the North Pacific Ocean will
move to Kodiak Island. The initial weather front with this system
will move north over Mainland Alaska Monday night and Tuesday
bringing clouds a chance of snow to the interior. South winds will
increase across the Alaska Range late Monday and give temperatures
a boost overnight. Any falling snow will move north of the Tanana
Valley Tuesday but the Chinook flow across the Alaska Range will
continue through the week.
Temperatures will rise into the 30s above by Wednesday across the
southern interior including the Fairbanks area... and in the 20s
above over the northern interior.
With a strong ridge of high pressure holding over the eastern
Pacific and western Canada... the warm and likely dry pattern
appears it will persist through the remainder of the week over the
central and eastern interior.
