Alaska Weather March 5 Evening - Blizzard Warning

Good evening. Alaska. I'm Aaron Jolly. That bitter chill you're feeling? It's the real deal. The Interior bottomed out at minus 31 degrees overnight. Wind chills plunged to minus 47 around 5 A.M. That's the kind of cold that bites through any jacket in seconds. Fairbanks climbs all the way to 1 degrees this afternoon under sunny skies. A remarkable 32-degree swing from dawn to mid-afternoon. In the next 24 hours. Down in Southcentral, it's cold but more manageable. Anchorage sits at minus 5 degrees early this morning. You'll reach 17 degrees by late afternoon. Snow moves in after 9 A.M. — just a chance, nothing heavy yet. Southeast Alaska? A completely different world. Juneau hovers near 27 degrees with snow showers overnight. Temperatures surge to 40 degrees today. Rain takes over by afternoon. That's nearly three-quarters of an inch of rainfall possible. Tonight's full moon will shine bright over the Interior. But clouds will spoil the view elsewhere. Heads up for the Alaska Peninsula. A Blizzard Warning kicks in at 3 P.M. Thursday. Four to twelve inches of snow. Winds gusting to 50 miles an hour. Whiteout conditions expected from King Cove to Sand Point. Looking ahead. Friday brings the next storm system. Snow spreads across the Interior and Southcentral. Fairbanks could see one to three inches. Anchorage looks for one to two inches. Then another shot of arctic air plunges temperatures back down. Highs barely reach zero early next week. We're gaining nearly six minutes of daylight today. Spring equinox sits just two weeks away. But winter isn't letting go without a fight. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
