Roads in Anchorage and the Mat-Su are dangerous this morning with glazed ice. Here's what to expect:
Looking at the surrounding atmosphere, there’s a shallow layer of air just above the surface of the Earth. It extends roughly 2,500 feet up and is the primary focus of why we’re seeing freezing rain. The column of air is fairly saturated up to about 11,000 feet, meaning snow is falling through the layers of the atmosphere. As it slams into the shallow layer of warm air, which is seeing temperatures hovering in the mid to upper 30s, the snow is melting.
While only a glaze of ice can be expected throughout the day, it’s the coating of the ice that will create slick and hazardous road conditions. You’ll want to budget any extra time into your forecast, as roads will prove difficult and trick through the day. It’s also wise to keep your windshield defroster on, as it will prevent ice from building up on your windshield. Any freezing drizzle/rain will come to an end for many locations by 9 a.m. Monday.
Looking ahead through the week, an area of low pressure will remain to our south. While this will keep active weather fixated on the Gulf Coast region, inland areas will see the biggest impact being warmer weather. In the days ahead, temperatures will hover in the mid to upper 20s, with overnight lows in the upper 10s. This warm stretch of weather will stay with us as we close out December and welcome in next year.
Although December will likely close as one of the coldest we’ve seen in several years, this year as a whole is still one of the warmest years on record. This warmth will likely carry over into January, which is showing signs of remaining wet, warm and active.
