Almost all Mat-Su Borough schools in Alaska are closed on Tuesday due to icy roads caused by a weather pattern that is bringing warmer weather and similar conditions across much of Southcentral Alaska this week. The weather pattern is part of an "amplification" across the state, with cold air moving across Western Alaska and warm air rising from the Pacific Ocean into the Gulf of Alaska and the Southcentral region. Anchorage should expect warming temperatures on Tuesday, with temperatures near the freezing point of 32 degrees on the east side of town. The weather service is monitoring a storm moving north into Prince William Sound by Wednesday morning, which may bring additional rain to Anchorage roads.
