ANCHORAGE, AK (Alaska’s News Source) – Icy conditions across Southcentral have taken ahold of many morning commuters as a large storm brought freezing rain, rain, and snow to some higher elevations. As we look ahead through the rest of Tuesday, quieter conditions will take over Anchorage to the Matanuska-Susitna Valley with mostly cloudy to partly sunny skies.
While shower activity will taper off around noon in Anchorage, Kenai, and the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, slick road conditions will likely stick around through much of Tuesday, especially in neighborhoods and shady roads. Areas like Anchorage to the Mat-Su Valley will also catch some sunbreaks throughout the day as this storm weakens and begins to move away from the western side of the Kenai Peninsula. Whittier to Seward will continue to collect more rain throughout the day with several weather alerts continuing into the early afternoon, mostly pertaining to high wind gusts. Winds will begin to die down in the afternoon across the region, but Hillside will feel gusts up to 65 and even 70 mph through the first part of the day. Again, many weather alerts remain in effect through the morning and afternoon, but you can refer to a list of those alerts through this link.
