This pattern feels like early Spring, but our Forecaster saw his shadow this morning, so 6 more weeks of Winter? #akwx

Happy February, Alaska! Here is a monthly summary of weather in Anchorage for the month of January. It was an active month with periods of warm days, cold days, windy days, and rainy days. Perhaps we will have better luck this month for more snowfall! 🗓️

⚠️Heads up! Cold temps will cause creeks to begin freezing up across parts of the state, raising water levels and creating possible ice jams. As this occurs, water could spill out of channel and cause minor lowland flooding, impacting trails and low roads nearby. 🧊

The forecast calls for calm & very cold conditions for Anchorage for at least the next few days. While there's no snow in the forecast, at least we received a small refresh, but that's not the only thing that showed up at our doorstep. Thanks for the king cake! @NWSNewOrleans

Hello southern Alaska! Here's a quick teaser of what's to come this week: Day Snow-Fog satellite RGB shows a cooler and drier air mass moving across Southwest into Southcentral. This will promote clearer conditions and a break from widespread precipitation thru midweek. #akwx
