This active weather pattern looks to persist into next week for the southern half of the state.  That's going to mean temperatures that are slightly above average and on and off rain and snow the next few days from the southwest into the southeast.  The Interior and North Slope will remain cold and dry for the next few days. 

7 Day Forecast For Anchorage

Well the weather models have been all over the place the past few days so it's been difficult to pinpoint when and how much snow we will see in Anchorage during this active weather pattern.  Overnight we will have cloudy skies with some light snow towards morning.  Lows will be near 20. 

Saturday the snow will end in the morning leaving maybe 1 to 2 inches in its wake.  Highs will be in the mid 20s.  Sunday we could see another round of snow late in the day into the overnight hours with highs near 30. 

Monday through Wednesday will be mostly cloudy with highs in the low to mid 30s.  Thursday and Friday will again be mostly cloudy, but cooler with highs in the 20s. 


Over the past 24 hours the hot spots in the state have been Ketchikan and Metlakatla where it hit 45 degrees.  The cold spot was Fort Yukon where it dipped to -58!
