  1. Autumn colors don't last long in Interior Alaska, but while we've got them it is gorgeous. Sunday morning FAA webcam view at Central (northeast of Fairbanks). @anisian @mivox @Climatologist49

  2. Sea ice in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas continues melt, with the combined extent slightly higher than last year but well below the 1991-2020 median in NSIDC data. The higher concentration sea ice north of the northeast Alaska coast is an area of thicker multi-year ice that moved southwest in the spring from the Canadian High Arctic in the ocean currents. @Climatologist49 @ZLabe

  3. High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Saturday. Warm for this late in the season from southeast Interior Alaska into the Yukon Territory and northwestern British Columbia. Chilly northern Interior and North Slope. #akwx #weather

  4. 6:00AM: 57F, mostly cloudy.

    The rain returns. "Real" rain not until Monday night/Tuesday, but cloudy is good too. 😉

    I'm late this morning because....boring weather!

  12. High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Thursday. Warm in Southeast Alaska and northwest British Columbia. Not quite so warm Aleutians and lower Alaska Peninsula. Rainy and cool from western Alaska into the central Interior. Also rainy but not so cool in southwest Alaska. #akwx #weather

  13. 6:00AM: 50, fair.

    One of my weather apps says "abundant sunshine" today. Sun-lovers - go revel!

    Yesterday was a frost advisory in Yakutat, today it's a heat advisory in Prince of Wales Island.

    The weather is definitely...weathering.

    In honor of all the folks in Tok, who are experiencing the devastating aftermath of wild fire, I'm attaching a moose pic. This was taken across the road from my first house in Tok. I used to joke there was nothing north of us but the Arctic.

  16. “If you think about previous instances of major inundations, such as Hurricane Katrina, that will start to paint the picture for what you might imagine has happened along Western Alaska,” U.S. Coast Guard Sector Western Alaska Capt. Christopher Culpepper said at a briefing Monday afternoon.

    “It is absolute devastation,” said Culpepper, who is also the Coast Guard’s U.S. Arctic Commanding Officer, describing Kipnuk and Kwigillingok. “If you imagine the worst-case scenario, that’s what we’re dealing with.”

  18. Perimeters of larger fires in the Fairbanks, Alaska area. Note that these are certainly underestimates of area burned as dense smoke is hindering mapping and reconnaissance efforts.

  19. The McDonald and Clear wildfires have joined in the latest perimeter analysis available from Alaska Interagency Coordination Center.
