Are you feeling the "chill" in the air this morning? Many locations across the state are upwards of 10 degrees cooler than this time yesterday morning!

This comes as an area of low pressure continues to slowly move through the Gulf of Alaska, with northerly winds on the back side of the low funneling in cooler conditions. This low has also been responsible for bringing Anchorage its wettest 3 day stretch of weather all year long.
