| episode_narrative | While a deep cold airmass covered Northern Alaska, a low pressure center tracked east across the Arctic Ocean on the 29th bringing winds of 15 to 25 mph across the Arctic Coast (Zone 1), North Slopes of the Brooks Range (Zone 2) and northwest Alaska (Zone 3). Shortly thereafter, low pressure over the Gulf of Alaska deepened on the 30th and remained strong through the remainder of the period, producing local winds over 15 mph through passes of the Brooks Range (Zone 2) and Alaska Range (Zone 7). Though unverified, these dangerous wind chills likely occurred over other exposed locations of interior Alaska (Zones 4..5..8..remainder of 7) during the same time.
