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.

Wind chills could sink to minus 35 degrees by this evening. Your high today? MinU S One7. Tonight crashes back to minus 35 degrees. This is the kind of cold where your breath freezes mid-air.

Tonight falls to 12, but that northeast wind makes it feel like zero. A Blizzard Warning is up for Isabel Pass through 3 P.M. today. Whiteout conditions from blowing snow.

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. Meanwhile, Southcentral Alaska — Anchorage, Mat-Su. And the Kenai — you've got the quiet day. Highs only hit the mid-teens, but with clear skies and light winds, it's actually the most pleasant spot in the state if you Dress warmly. That calm ends Monday night when light snow moves in. Arctic air plunges south behind this storm. By Wednesday, Southcentral drops to minus 13 while the Interior sees minus 30. That's dangerously cold — make sure your car and home are winter-ready. Southeast, your wind finally eases, but rain and snow return Tuesday with 1 to 3 inches possible. Alright. If this helped you plan your day, share it with a friend who could use the heads-up. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
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 recycling bins and your hairstyle. Winds ease a bit tonight, but the chill hangs around like an unwanted houseguest. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. The cold grip loosens slightly. Southcentral climbs into the teens by midweek. The Interior stays frigid but crawls up toward minus 20 by Thursday.
