Good morning. Alaska. I'm Michael Mosby. Alaska is locked in a deep freeze this morning. And the Interior is taking the worst of it. Fairbanks sits at minus 20 degrees right now. Feels like minus 34 with the wind chill. That's the kind of cold where breathing hurts. You'll climb to minus 5 degrees this afternoon, then crash to minus 31 tonight. By Wednesday morning, some Interior valleys could hit minus 40. Cover that exposed skin if you're heading out — frostbite doesn't ask permission. Down in Southcentral, you're starting at minus 2 degrees with partly cloudy skies. You'll warm to 15 degrees this afternoon under mostly sunny skies. Light northeast winds around 5 miles an hour. Tonight drops to minus 10 degrees. Tuesday brings another mostly sunny day with a high near 11 degrees. Southeast Alaska tells a completely different story — snow. Heavy at times. Snow showers continue through this morning with 3 to 5 inches possible by tonight. Cloudy skies, high near 31 degrees, northeast winds 10 to 15 miles an hour. Visibility drops to a mile or less in the heavier bands. Tonight stays active with snow showers continuing. Low around 20 degrees. Another 1 to 3 inches possible overnight. Drive carefully in that snow. The big story this week is dangerous blizzard conditions along the eastern Arctic Coast. Winds gust to 60 miles an hour Tuesday at Kaktovik. Ground blizzards reduce visibility to near zero. Stay off the roads if you can. Looking ahead, the Interior stays brutally cold through Wednesday with highs struggling to reach zero. Western Alaska sees light snow arrive Wednesday and continue through Friday. Southeast continues with scattered snow showers through Tuesday before conditions improve midweek. See you this afternoon.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Alaska Weather Podcast — it's Thursday, February 26th. Folks, this is the kind of cold that doesn't just bite. It claws. An arctic airmass has clamped down on Alaska. And it's digging in hard. The numbers are brutal, but the wind chills? They're what'll get you. Here in Southcentral, you stepped outside to minus 5 degrees this morning. But that north wind gusting to 25 miles an hour? It makes it feel like minU S Two6. That's frostbite-in-minutes territory.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Alaska Weather Podcast — it's Wednesday, February 25th. That dusting yesterday was just the opening act. Today brings the kind of cold that demands respect. Southcentral Alaska, you woke up to minU S Two degrees around 8 A.M. That steady north wind at 15 miles an hour? It makes exposed skin feel like minU S Two2. You'll climb to 7 degrees by 3 P.M. under mostly sunny skies. Tonight, blowing snow swirls around before 9 P.M., then clears to partly cloudy with a low near minus 4. Now head north to the Interior. Fairbanks sits at minU S Two8 right now.

Winds shift from west to northwest around 9 P.M. Wind chills crash to minus 36 degrees around 9 A.M. That's the kind of cold where breathing hurts.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Alaska Weather Podcast — it's Tuesday, February 24th. Folks, winter just cracked its knuckles. We're talking a deep freeze that's settling in like an unwelcome houseguest who brought their own sleeping bag. Southcentral wakes up to light snow this morning — nothing dramatic, under half an inch. But here's where it gets interesting. Temperatures are nosediving from 30 degrees at 5 A.M. To just 10 by 2 A.M. Tonight. That's a 20-degree crash. Winds shift northeast around noon, gusting to 15 miles an hour by 9 A.M., making it feel like minus 4 tonight. A slight chance of snow before 3 A.M., then we're done. Wednesday brings mostly sunny skies, but don't get excited — highs struggle to hit 6 degrees. Thursday and Friday? Sunny but brutal. Highs barely climb above zero. Lows drop to minus 14. This is the kind of cold that finds every gap in your jacket. Interior Alaska? You're getting the worst of it. Snow continues today, another 1 to 2 inch…

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Alaska Weather Podcast — it's Monday, February 23rd. Alaska's about to put on a three-ring circus today.. And you're gonna want a front-row seat for this one. Down in Southcentral, you're waking up to 20 degrees and gray skies. Feels calm now, but don't be fooled. Snow crashes the party tonight between 9 P.M. And 2 A.M., peaking right around midnight. Lows drop to 16 degrees by 2 A.M., but here's the kicker — winds flip from northeast to north around 6 P.M., making it feel closer to 8 degrees. Dress warmly if you're out late. Tomorrow brings a high of 29 degrees with light snow before noon, then temperatures nosedive to 9 degrees Tuesday night with gusts hitting 25 miles an hour. Now let's head up to the Interior.. Where winter just remembered it's supposed to be brutal. Snow's already dumping hard — 5 to 9 inches today, another 3 to 7 inches tonight. Highs struggle to 26 degrees, but the real headline? Tonight's low plummets to minus 2…

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Alaska Weather Podcast — it's Sunday, February 22nd. Alaska is showing off today with three completely different weather worlds happening at once. Let me break it down. Southeast Alaska is getting absolutely hammered by wind right now. Juneau and Douglas are under a High Wind Warning with gusts hitting 80 miles an hour — strong enough to knock down trees and flip trash cans into next week. These Taku winds peak this morning, then ease off by tonight. Despite the chaos, you're actually the warmest spot in the state at 27 degrees under sunny skies. That calm doesn't last though — snow returns Tuesday as a storm rolls in. Now shift north to the Interior, where Fairbanks is buried in a full-blown snowstorm. You're looking at 4 to 8 inches of snow through Monday with temps around 10 degrees. Heavy snow and gusty winds mean low visibility out there. If you're traveling the Dalton or Parks Highway, expect slippery roads and possible delays. Me…

Good morning, folks! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Alaska Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 17th. Alaska is serving up three completely different winters today. Pick your adventure. Southcentral wakes up at just 1 degree. North winds around 15 miles an hour give it a sharp edge. Here's the deal. That's the kind of cold where your nostrils stick together on the first breath. Tonight those winds back off, but temperatures barely move. Bundle up if you're heading out. Now fly north to the Interior. Minus 33 this morning. Let that sink in. Your phone dies in your pocket at those temps. Light northeast winds at 5 miles an hour, which honestly doesn't matter much when it's that brutal. Tonight? No relief. Just deep, stubborn, bone rattling cold holding steady. Southeast is having a completely different day. You're sitting at 14 degrees, which sounds almost cozy until you step into those northeast winds. They're howling at 35 to 40 miles an hour. That's enough to rearrange your r…
