After experiencing its coldest winter in half a century, Alaska is now transitioning into a warm spell with the arrival of El Niño. Anchorage has already hit 40 degrees for the first time this season, signaling a shift towards warmer temperatures. While storm action is increasing and active weather is expected to bring snow and rain to Southcentral Alaska through Wednesday, the overall trend shows a slow warming taking precedence over winter conditions. As April unfolds, light rain and a wintry mix are affecting the gulf coast, while light snow is moving through Western Alaska. Scattered showers are expected to wrap up Easter weekend in the southern parts, with continued chances of rain and snow in various regions as the warmth sets in.
