March Ends on a Chilly Note

Much colder air moved into the central Interior Wednesday night, with Thursday afternoon temperatures 15 to 20 degrees cooler than the day before. And that was with of 100% sunshine, as the evening photo from UAF West Ridge shows the ground view. The NOAA-19 304pm visible image shows the view from above. High temperature for the last day of March 15F on Keystone Ridge and 21F at the Fairbanks Airport. April will start off on a chilly note: look for temperatures near 20 below in the cool valley spots by morning. No fooling. Photo credits: Alaska Climate Research Center, NWS Alaska Region
