Special Weather Statement

Statement as of 11:07 AM AKDT on September 21, 2009



... First snowfall of the winter likely at higher elevations
of southcentral Alaska tonight...

Colder air moving southward across western Alaska today will
gradually filter into southcentral Alaska late tonight into
Tuesday. Meanwhile... a storm system over the northern Gulf
will move inland across southcentral Alaska tonight producing
widespread precipitation. As the cold air arrives rain will
mix with and then change to snow along the mountains of
southcentral. Locations with the most likelihood of seeing
snow include the Upper Hillside of Anchorage... hatcher's
pass... higher elevations of the Glenn Highway around Eureka... the
northern Susitna Valley... and along the Denali Highway. The snow
will be very wet and ground temperatures are very warm... so
accumulation across these areas is expected to generally be light.

Lower elevations... including Anchorage and the Matanuska Valley
will remain primarily rain. However... if the precipitation is
heavy enough there may be snowflakes mixed in with the rain during
the early morning hours.

You all have a great winter!!! The Termination Dust has me up/down the road!! Left Seward this afternoon 51 degrees. Hit Glen Allen tonight- it warmed up from the Glacier to 50 degrees when I got here at 8:30 pm... Wind is blowing out there now. I am hopeing to be in front of it!!! You are a tough bunch to "enjoy" -40 degrees. I am intersted of what a winter would be like here.

I really didn't want to leave today. Although I know I wouldn't like -40 did it in Montana wasn't too big on it. And wind isn't my friend. I think what would be the hardest on me would be the darkness. I am done with WA in December let alone up here.

You do live in a incredible place.I am very Thankful life that I experienced the last two months here! Although Whittier was a little uhmm... I will be back next year. I hope I will be able to see up north then. Great people I had the chance of spending time with! Good connections for lots of beautiful things to see and do. Thanks so much for the help to get me up the Alcan everyone here! Only to realize - it wasn't anything like people were telling me from the early 80's. Its all good!

Enjoy the winter and look forward to seeing some of your photos!!!
Alaska is a absolute must see- and not only from a Highway!! And its locals are highly intelligent, great, honest, interesting,opinionated and experienced group of people!!! Thank you again!
