High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Sunday. Except for the northern North Slope, comparatively small range of temperatures around Alaska, which happens occasionally at this time of year. Warmest weather in northwest Canada. #akwx #weather @xograndmagg

6:20: 55F, mostly cloudy.
The NWS has a nifty table showing rainfall chances over the next few days. It has all the SE communities on it.
What about Sitka, you ask?
Heavy rain Tuesday night through Wednesday morning. 1-3" expected from that system.
I'm sure you can feel my joy radiating...

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

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

7:00AM: 51F, clear.
I'm late this morning because....boring weather!
But RAIN is in the forecast.
I'll believe it when I see it. Sigh.

Alaska precipitation totals in August showed a very sharp west-to-east difference relative to the 1991-2020 baseline normal. Western Interior excessively rainy with some places having three times normal. Meanwhile, Cook Inlet area, after a (near) record wet July had way below normal totals. Southeast also drier than normal. @Climatologist49 @DeniseGutzmer

Thunderstorm season is nearly over for another year across mainland Alaska. This season started off slow but ramped up just before summer solstice. Many wildfires started during this time but most were unable to become even moderately large fires. The mini-peak in mid-August was unusual but not unprecedented. Total strike count was lower than last year but typical since the current lightning detection network came online in 2012. @Climatologist49 @anisian

Wildfires in Alaska this summer burned about 89,000 acres (36,000 ha), about 14 percent of the median in the previous 30 years. This is also lowest area burned since 1995. Nonetheless, the 7300 acre Mukluk Fire at Tok is one of the worst fires on record in Alaska in terms of homes lost. Data courtesy Alaska Interagency Coordination Center. @Climatologist49 @anisian

Wednesday morning at UAF Toolik Lake Field Station: 730am and 32F/0C with a bit of fresh snow overnight. At an elevation of 2500 feet (760 meters) MSL at 68.6ºN latitude in the Brooks Range, any day of the year is a good day for snow. Image courtesy @toolikfieldstation. @Climatologist49

For a community of 1600 people, the loss of 44 homes (not just structures) is a terrible loss. Mukluk Fire at 7300 acres with cooler weather helping firefighters. Reporting by KUAC’s Tim Ellis. @anisian @mivox @BakerRL75

👵 Memaw checking in. Light snow and freezing rain mean some Southcentral roads are much riskier than others today 🧊 I broke down where to slow way down and what to watch for.

Pretty good bet that the highest temperatures of 2025 have come and gone in and around Alaska. Widespread 90s in the Koyukuk and Kobuk valleys are extreme, but likely not as rare as the 80s on the western North Slope, even right to the coast. Meanwhile, some areas in Southcentral (Kenai) and Southeast (Sitka) had unusually low peak temperatures. @Climatologist49

Wildfire area burned in the Northwest Territories, Canada has nearly doubled in the past two weeks, with more than 1.33 million hectares (3.30 million acres) burned in 2025. Although wildfire as been minimal in the Yukon Territory and Alaska this month, the northern North American total area burned is now nearly twice the 1988 to 2024 median and on par with 2022 and 2024. @Climatologist49
