Fairbanks and Anchorage woke Wednesday to the deep-freeze of an expected cold snap this week, as temperatures plunged to 50 degrees below zero in some areas of the Interior.

The lowest temperature recorded by the National Weather Service Wednesday morning was 59 below on the Salcha River near its confluence with Flat Creek, said meteorologist Dan Hancock in the agency's Fairbanks office.

By 4 p.m., the temperature on the Salcha had risen 20 degrees - to 39 below, Hancock said.

The Fairbanks weather service office issued a dense fog advisory Wednesday afternoon that was in place until midnight. Visibility of a quarter-mile or less was expected from Fairbanks to Eielson Air Force Base, primarily in lower elevations.

Air quality in North Pole was considered unhealthy; Fairbanks air quality was moderate, according to the Fairbanks North Star Borough's air quality forecast.

Other low temperatures were recorded throughout Fairbanks. Fort Wainwright hit a low of minus 52 around 9 a.m. Wednesday morning, and Eielson hovered around 51 below for most of the morning, Hancock said.

Fairbanks International Airport recorded 51 below around 10 a.m. The last time the airport temperature dropped that low was in January 2012, Hancock said.
