TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE PANHANDLE TRENDED BELOW NORMAL, AND IN SOME LOCATIONS, WELL BELOW NORMAL FOR THE MONTH. THIS RESULTED FROM FAIRLY STABLE OUTFLOW CONDITIONS WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER WESTERN CANADA FOR MOST OF THE MONTH. PRECIPITATION ALSO TRENDED BELOW NORMAL FOR MUCH OF THE PANHANDLE THIS PAST MONTH. YAKUTAT POSTED THE LARGEST DEFECIT WITH LESS THAN HALF OF THEIR NORMAL FEBRUARY PRECIPITATION. HOWEVER, THE RELIABLY COLD WEATHER ALLOWED WHAT SNOW THAT DID FALL TO REMAIN ON THE GROUND WITHOUT MELTING OVER CENTRAL AND NORTHERN LOCATIONS. THE SNOWPACK SITUATION AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS IS NOT QUITE AS GOOD. EVEN IN A WARMER THAN NORMAL WINTER, HIGH SITES TYPICALLY BUILD UP A SNOWPACK EVEN WHEN IT RAINS NEAR SEA LEVEL. THIS FEBRUARY, HOWEVER, THE TOTAL PRECIPITATION DEFECIT IS REFLECTED IN A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN NORMAL SNOWPACK IN THE MOUNTAINS AND ON THE ICE FIELD. THE MONTH FINISHED UP WITH ANOTHER STRONG OUTFLOW EVENT, CAUSING STORM FORCE WINDS OVER THE NORTHERN INNER CHANNELS, THE NORTHEAST GULF COAST, AND HIGH WINDS IN JUNEAU. NO DAILY RECORDS WERE SET IN SOUTHEAST ALASKA DURING THE MONTH. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Thur. 3/01/18: 2243: NWS: High Wind Warning will Expire at 11 PM AST tonight - See 2243 Below | March 1 & March 2 Schedule Changes for M/Vs LeConte and Aurora - See 1011 Below ------------------------------------------------------------------ 2243 AST (Posted here at 06209 3/02): NWS: High Wind Warning will Expire at 11 PM AST this evening.
