Special Weather Statement
While temperatures are currently below normal, we anticipate a
cool down to continue through midweek. Strong, cold, northerly
flow will bring temperatures in the 20s below zero or colder
across most of the West Coast by Tuesday morning. Locations near
Kotzebue Sound and Selawik may even approach 40 below zero by
Tuesday morning. Much of the Seward Peninsula likely will be well
into the 20s below zero, St. Lawrence Island will be in the single
digits and teens below zero and the Yukon Delta will be in the
teens and 20s below zero as well. There will be some cloud cover
around which should keep temperatures relatively milder, but where
it's clear will be very cold.
Temperatures will try to moderate by the end of the week with an
increase in southerly flow.

will clear, allowing temperatures to plummet very quickly. We expect
