PM Update: Seasonable tonight and warmer temperatures tomorrow

Discounting the wind, today was quite nice! You can feel the increasing warmth from the sun as we drift toward spring. Abundant sunshine helped high temperatures rise to within a few degrees of 50 in most spots. Seasonably cool weather is on the way tonight. It will be even warmer tomorrow.

Through tonight: Winds weaken with sunset, and skies stay clear. Starry through the night, with lows in the mid-20s to near freezing.

Tomorrow (Wednesday): It’s a wall-to-wall-sunshine kind of day. Any clouds are few and far between. High temperatures are in the mid-50s. Winds are from the south, around 10 mph with higher gusts.

Crazy cold: While the heat is on in California, Alaska has been in something that’s miles beyond a deep freeze. Check out the widespread minus-40 to minus-50 temperatures there this morning, highlighted by NWS Fairbanks. Those aren’t wind chills.

Yesterday, wind chills were pushing minus-90 in some locations in northern parts of the state. Yikes!
