...WIND CHILLS OF -20F to -40F TO DEVELOP WEDNESDAY THROUGH 
FRIDAY...

An arctic airmass and gusty northerly winds will move in tonight 
and remain in place through early this weekend. Overnight wind
chills will reach as low as -20 to -40 throughout much of
Southcentral by Thursday morning. Areas that are protected from 
the wind will likely see similar ambient temperatures for morning 
lows. Wind chills will be the most severe over mountain passes 
such as Isabel Pass, Mentasta Pass, Broad Pass, and Thompson Pass,
where wind chill values of -40F to -50F are possible. The coastal
communities of Seward, Whittier, and Valdez will likely see 
warmer temperatures, but persistent gusts of 30 to 60 mph are 
expected through at least Friday.
