Anchorage to Tie Earliest Snowfall on Record Today
The higher elevations of Alaska are forecast a foot+ of global warming goodness beginning Thursday evening, while the city of Anchorage is expected to tie a 40-year-old record for early snow, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
From 6PM Thursday through 1PM Friday, the weather service forecasts 6 to 12 inches of wet snow on the Anchorage Hillside and in the South Fork area of Eagle River, with localized dumps easily surpassing a foot.
Officials have advised commuters to take it slow Friday morning — that’s when the city is most likely to see the heaviest snowfall.
Anchorage has already seen measurable snow this week, on Tuesday; however, because the inches didn’t settle at the Ted Stevens International Airport –the official NWS measuring spot– they didn’t count.
Tuesday’s flurries were sizable, too.
