Hey there, Kathy.
No windows open today!! All we could squeak out was 35 degrees this afternoon and the wind has been whipping out of the north pretty hard. Might get a crack-a-window-open day or two next week.
I read in Lake Hood chat that it didn’t warm up much today. Not good after the melting yesterday. Wise move not getting out of the car to check the mail. Spikies are a necessity.
Now the forecast is for high winds and high temps. Weather Advisory from just an hour ago!
A series of storms moving into western Alaska are on track to bring another period of elevated winds and warm temperatures to Anchorage and the Matanuska Valley Monday and Tuesday. Expect the worst of the conditions on Tuesday morning when the stronger of the two systems moves into western Alaska. Turnagain Arm winds and Knik winds will begin to move into these areas Monday morning, bringing consistent gusts in the 20 to 35 mph range to sea level locations and 40 to 60 mph along the Anchorage Hillside. The stronger of the two systems will impact the region on Tuesday, where gusts at sea level may reach 30 to 45 mph with gusts up to 75 mph possible at higher elevations on the Hillside. Expect temperatures to climb into the upper 30s and mid 40s for the duration of the event, which will lead to more snowmelt and wet roadways. Periods of light rain are possible through Tuesday evening.
So thankful I work from home, but I may have to try to clear out the path to the mailbox again.
