Baby IT'S COLD OUTSIDE
Nov. 16th, 2011 03:57 pmThe Fairbanks International Airport reached a low temperature of 35 below zero at 1114 PM on Tuesday. This sets a new record low temperature for November 15, breaking the previous record low of 33 below set back in 1969
The first cold weather outbreak of the season has settled in over interior Alaska. Unusually frigid temperatures for mid-November have been observed across much of the region. Temperatures colder than 40 below zero are being reported in valleys in the central and northeastern interior. Infrared satellite images also indicate temperatures under 50 below zero in some of the coldest valley locations.
Several record low temperatures were broken overnight in the Fairbanks area. This includes Eielson Air Force Base which bottomed out at 42 below this morning... shattering the previous record of 37 below set back in 1956. Record or near record low temperatures are possible again Thursday morning. The record low for November 17th at the Fairbanks Airport is 39 below... and 40 below at Eielson Air Force Base.
Temperatures from 15 to 35 degrees below normal will persist over much of the interior the next several days. A slight moderation is expected on the weekend... but temperatures climbing above zero across interior Alaska are not expected any time soon. Long range models indicate another shot of reinforcing cold air arriving early next week... and possibly hanging around into the Thanksgiving weekend
