Sea surface temperature departure from from the 1991-2020 baseline around Alaska show increasing areas that warmer than normal in the Gulf of Alaska and western Bering Sea. Eastern Bering Sea still mostly cooler than normal. North of the Bering Strait, waters cooler than normal except areas that have been sea ice free for a while.

Monday was a tough day when we learned that NOAA was ending support for the Arctic Report Card. Since then we're received many expressions of solidarity, showing the value of the ARC to a wide audience. For that I am VERY grateful. @Climatologist49 @ZLabe

5:30AM: 56F, fair.

Sun today, high near 70F.

We may get showers Monday. Eh.

I'll enjoy what little precipitation we get, but it's not the full-throated rain that's needed.

No real rain for the rest of the week either.

6:15AM: 58F, overcast.

Sunny today - high near 70F.

Heat advisories for Skagway/Haines and then clear down at Ketchikan and Prince of Wales.

Highs may climb to the mid-80's.

Help! Send rain. (Hell - at this point, send snow!)

Weather is such a tease. Every morning it's lovely and dark, then the marine layer burns off and the it's sunny all day.

But...sweet baby Jesus...a high of 74F on Thursday and Friday!

Both I and the salmon are not amused.

@jimfl You can also do a loop: Drive to Skagway, Ferry to Haines, Drive (back towards Skagway), or in opposite direction. Best to make ferry rez.

If you have time, I recommend visiting Hyder/Stewart in the Misty Fjord National Monument off of Cassiar Hwy. Pretty cool place.

Dont forget to bring the Calvin and Hobbes book about the Yukon"

Adding hashtags so others might join in with even better recommendations.

5:45AM: 55, mostly clear.

Just an all around crap forecast. We have sun and highs inching close to 70 by the end of the week.

I'm not being alarmist when I say if we don't get several inches of rain soon, the salmon will start dying before they ever spawn.

This is seriously awful weather for SE Alaska at this time of year.

6:45AM: 55, mostly cloudy (although my window-weather says mostly sunny.)

No rain in sight.

I expect tumbleweeds blowing through the streets soon.

Tumbling Devil's Club?
