...RETURN OF VERY COLD TEMPERATURES LATER THIS WEEK...



Clearing skies and a cooling airmass will bring well below normal

temperatures beginning Thursday, with readings continuing to fall

through the weekend. Temperatures are expected to vary

significantly over short distances due to wind and terrain

effects, with the coldest conditions occurring in low-lying, 

wind-sheltered areas. Low temperatures in the Copper Valley could

reach -35F to -45F with wind chill values near or below -55F. The

Susitna Valley could reach -35F in low laying areas like Willow. 

For the Matanuska Valley, Anchorage and Kenai Peninsula, low 

temperatures between -5F and -25F are expected. High temperatures

may remain below 0F by the weekend. Winds will keep temperatures 

warmer through the Prince William Sound communities, but wind 

chill values between -10F and -25F are expected.
