...VERY COLD WEATHER RETURNS... Through the remainder of the week, cold arctic air will return to the Panhandle, bringing single digit to below 0F air temperatures to many communities in the north and central panhandle. Current forecast reflects the coldest temperatures arriving to the central panhandle by mid to late week and to the area around Kupreanof Island and Hyder by the weekend. These cold air temperatures, combined with gusty outflow winds, could bring dangerously cold wind chill values as well through the weekend. Frostbite and hypothermia are possible if exposed to these temperatures for extended periods of time. Of particular concern are the elderly, along with those without adequate shelter. Make preparations now. Prepare vessels and homes for cold weather through the week.
