Summer is coming!
Anchorage may still have a foot and a half of snow on the ground, but the snow depth has already dropped 4' in just the last 4 days, and with warmer temperatures and more daylight coming, it will feel like summer in no time!

2.8' to go until this is officially the snowiest season on record for Anchorage.

Our April snow showers continue!
It was only 0.3' that officially fell in Anchorage today, but scattered snow showers continue with additional light accumulations possible through the night.
Next chance for snow: Thu.-Fri.

April snow showers bring...a new snowfall record?!
I'm officially calling this week our 'third winter' of the year in Anchorage. Another 4.6' last night brings us up to 128.2' for the season, just 6.3' away from the all-time seasonal snowfall record!

Heads up Southcentral: Back-to-back storms will move through on Fri. & Sat. Be prepared for strong winds and scattered snow/rain mix showers on Fri., followed by much stronger winds and a heavier rain/snow mix on Saturday, continuing through early Sun AM. #akwx

3/27/1964: The 2nd largest quake ever recorded hit Alaska. Watch our special presentation as we hear from people who were there, who ran from tsunamis and watched their towns crumble. And scientists explain why this could happen again: alaskasnewssource.com/2024/03/28/60-…

It is only a test: An Alaskan tsunami test will be issued at 10:20am
Today marks 60 years since the M9.2 earthquake shook Alaska. Join us on Alaska's News Source at 6:30pm as we hear from the survivors and answer the question, could this happen again? #axwx #earthquake #1964

Anchorage officially picked up another 1.4' of snow today, bringing us up 123.4' for the season, nearly double the normal! This is the 48th day with measurable snowfall this season, and we're up to 134 days straight with snow on the ground. #snowstats #akwx

WOW! 😍 Check out this gorgeous view of the sunset in Anchorage. I love watching the ice come and go with the tide, especially at sunset with the beautiful reflections. Thank you to George for sending this in! He titled it 'Racing the Sunset'.

Here comes the sun Alaska! 😎
March is a big transitional month for us. Even though we typically see snow well into April, and temperatures are still below freezing, we're gaining more than 40 min. of daylight now each week, which also means temperatures start to warm soon! #akwx

Watch out for roof avalanches Southcentral! As temperatures warm, the snow is starting to slide! Matthew Brondum says the snow came off the roof at Alyeska's Bore Tide Deli & Bar Wed. around lunchtime. Temperatures were in the upper 30s/low 40s with winds gusts around 25 mph.

WIND UPDATE: Wind gusts are now over 80 mph on the S. Anchorage Hillside.
The High Wind Warning was extended until 9 PM Tue. The highest winds will likely be overnight.
The rest of Anchorage will see gusts of 35-45 mph. Stay safe and be prepared for continued power outages.
