Takeaways:
• Record high temperatures are being experienced in Southcentral Alaska, with Anchorage tying its previous record of 43 degrees set in 1977.
• A high-pressure system over Canada and Southeast Alaska is causing warmer and moisture-rich air to flow into the region, leading to unusually warm conditions across much of the state.
• High wind warnings are in effect for the Alaska Range, with wind gusts up to 80 mph expected to cause blowing snow and reduced visibility.
• Western Alaska is facing winter weather conditions with heavy snow and ice accumulation due to a stalled-out boundary, with up to 1.5 feet of snow expected in Southwest Alaska.
• Multiple areas in Western Alaska are under winter weather advisories or warnings, with cooler temperatures remaining below freezing and visibility expected to decrease due to heavy snow and winds.
