The Alaska region of the National Weather Service are aligning their alert system boundaries with political and borough boundaries, beginning on March 22.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Watches, warnings, and alerts are seen and heard across Alaska.
Local effects such as elevation, terrain, and proximity to large bodies of water can cause highly variable weather among zones, making alignment of the two difficult, especially in a state as big as Alaska. But with improved mapping and communication, the Weather Service is beginning to change and improve upon this.
With three Weather Service forecast offices in the state, where your alert is coming from may change with this update on March 22, but now it will focus more on your immediate surroundings.
