3/23 - 6pm - It's 70 Again

Sitting outside for lunch at around noon today was almost unbearable at 59 degrees, but between noon and now we've improved to 70 degrees. Tomorrow looks even warmer, with temperatures approaching 75 degrees. Showers and storms (non-severe) will begin tomorrow night ahead of a cold front and will continue until just after lunchtime tomorrow.

The temperature drop on Thursday will not be as significant as previous cold fronts this month, because we'll top out in the mid 60's for Thursday. Spotty showers are possible for both Thursday and Friday. More thunderstorms and a cold front come through on Saturday, with a more significant temperature drop next week. We'll see mostly 50's, but I think Sunday could drop just below 50 degrees for a high.

After weeks of warnings, Mount Redoubt in Alaska has finally erupted. Multiple eruptions last night sent ash 50,000+ feet in the air, canceling a few Alaska Airlines flights from Anchorage. A few communities closer to the volcano have experienced light falling ash, but Anchorage has been clear so far. For more information, click here.
