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 (Gwich'in Dene country, northeast of Fairbanks) after some ground fog had dissipated. #akwx #Autumn #AlaskaSky @[email protected] @[email protected]

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

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

6:00AM: 57F, mostly cloudy.

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

August temperatures averaged above normal over most of Alaska except in Southcentral and Southwest Alaska, where the monthly average was close to normal. Southeast Alaska was especially warm, with both Juneau and Petersburg having a "top ten" warmest August. #akwx #Climate #Summer2026

Sea surface temperature departures from the 1991-2020 baseline in the seas around Alaska. Gulf of Alaska near to above normal. The Eastern Bering and most of the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas cooler than normal except for some nearshore warmth. @Climatologist49 @ZLabe

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

But RAIN is in the forecast.

I'll believe it when I see it. Sigh.

Fairbanks airport first freeze of the autumn on Thursday was early for the 21st century but would be close to normal prior to 1970. #akwx #Climate @[email protected] @[email protected]

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

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.

“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.”
