Just Like Winter



What I did at work today...
 
 
PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
211 PM AKST SUN NOV 18 2012

...COLD SUNDAY IN NORTHEAST INTERIOR ALASKA...

A COLD AIR MASS COVERS ALL OF INTERIOR ALASKA THIS WEEKEND. WITH
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTH SLOPE AND BROAD LOW PRESSURE
OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA...MANY AREAS HAVE ENOUGH WIND TO KEEP
STRONG INVERSIONS FROM FORMING. HOWEVER...IN THE UPPER YUKON
VALLEY AND ON THE SOUTHERN YUKON FLATS...WINDS HAVE REMAIN NEARLY
CALM. THIS HAS ALLOWED TEMPERATURES TO DROP TO UNUSUALLY LOW
LEVELS FOR THIS EARLY IN THE WINTER.

SOME LOW TEMPERATURE SO FAR SUNDAY INCLUDE...

BIRCH CREEK....................46 BELOW
BEAVER CREEK (YUKON FLATS).....45 BELOW
AMERICAN CREEK NEAR EAGLE......44 BELOW
COAL CREEK.....................43 BELOW
CENTRAL........................41 BELOW 
EAGLE COOPERATIVE OBSERVER.....41 BELOW 
EAGLE AIRPORT..................39 BELOW

IN CONTRAST...AT THE FORT YUKON AIRPORT...WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN 
PERSISTENT NORTHEAST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH...THE LOW TEMPERATURE
SUNDAY HAS BEEN JUST 8 BELOW.

IN THE FAIRBANKS AREA ALMOST ALL AREAS HAVE HAD WIND FOR THE PAST DAY...SO 
TEMPERATURES ARE GENERALLY ZERO TO 10 BELOW.
