is exposed to these temperatures. Very cold temperatures can lead
to hypothermia with prolonged exposure. People partaking in
outdoor activities, including short duration outdoor activities
for the New Year`s holiday, should use extreme caution.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The coldest temperatures so far this cold
snap are likely still to come. Clouds thinning over the area
through Tuesday night will allow valley temperatures to return to
the 40s below zero. The inversion that has kept hills warmer will
slowly weaken through the week as colder air aloft filters back
over the area. By Friday night, valley temperatures may approach
50 below with the warmest hills near 30 below. These conditions
will persist through Sunday night with temperatures continuing to
slowly fall, possibly as low as 60 below in low spots east of
Fairbanks. Clouds are not expected to return until early Monday
morning at the earliest. Calm or very light winds will allow ice
fog to redevelop, leading to poor visibility and difficult travel
conditions.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Use caution while traveling outside. Wear appropriate clothing, a
hat, and gloves.
Make frequent checks on older family, friends, and neighbors. Ensure
portable heaters are used correctly. Do not use generators or grills
inside.

...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.
