Sunshine in Anchorage, while remnants of Typhoon Hagibis head toward Bering Sea

Under sunny skies Monday, Anchorage warms to near 42 degrees.

Sunny on Monday with a high of 42 degrees. Monday night we drop down to 26 degrees with clear skies and winds out of the northeast from 10-15 mph.

Partly cloudy early turning mostly cloudy in Anchorage on Tuesday with a high of 43 degrees. Tuesday night we will be cloudy with light winds.

Looking ahead, Anchorage will be cloudy on Wednesday with a high of 41 degrees.

Across the state, high pressure continues to dominate with a trough of low pressure over the Copper River Basin and into the Canadian Yukon. High pressure has brought mostly clear skies across the region but with the nearby storm energy to the east we could see some clouds move in along with some fog in the Copper River Basin.

A Gale Force (39-54 mph winds) storm moving into the Southern Gulf of Alaska will lead to increasing rain across Kodiak Island and will continue to support just enough Cook Inlet air and moisture flow pushing to the south to keep fog threats at bay across that region.

The front over the Gulf of Alaska will continue to lift north on Tuesday, bringing increasing chances for rain (mixed with snow over the Copper River Basin) for locations from Prince William Sound eastward.

Rain and snow will make it into the Chugach Mountains around Anchorage by Tuesday evening.

For the Extended forecast, as usual, the focus will be in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands. We are paying attention to Typhoon Hagibis as the storm exits to the Northern Bering Sea on Tuesday to see what will happen with this strong storm. This storm should move north of the Aleutians as it moves east (from west to east) across the Southern Bering Sea. Though a shadow of its former self, Hagibis will bring 46-58 mph winds over the Aleutian and Pribilof Islands late Tuesday into Wednesday with another round of precipitation. As cold Arctic air flows over relatively warm water, we could see a thunderstorm or two behind the storms.
