5:45AM: 49F, fair.
Mostly cloudy today with a chance of showers.
This aligns with my after work plans: I'm walking home after leaving my car at the airport for a friend who comes in at 11 tonight.
Walking home in the rain while poetic, can be rather cold and miserable.

Either July or August is typically the wettest month of the year nearly everywhere in Alaska north and west of the Alaska Range (excepting the Bering Sea) in the 1991-2020 baseline using ERA5 data from @[email protected]. Analysis courtesy @[email protected] #akwx #Climate

Sea ice in the Chukchi Sea remains well above the 1991-2020 and amazingly is the highest for the this point in the season since 1994 in NSIDC data. This week ice cleared to create, for the first time this season, an open water path to Utqiaġvik, Alaska. Ice extent in the Beaufort Sea is the highest since 2006. @Climatologist49 @ZLabe

Lots of 5s in that header. Looks like we'll also have close to 5 days of showers/chance of showers. Lows in the mid-50s.
As long as it stays cloudy, I'll be happy...giving everyone I meet a....
High five.

Alaska tundra (as opposed to boreal forest) area burned since 1950. So far this year only 286 acres (116 ha) of tundra has burned, the lowest since 1998. The pre-1980 big spikes were all years with large fires on the Seward Peninsula. Data courtesy Alaska Interagency Coordination Center. @Climatologist49

Sea surface temperatures around Alaska for the week ending July 24. After a brief recovery, sea surface temperatures are back to well below normal in the southeast Bering Sea/Bristol Bay. Below normal SSTs north of the Bering Strait due to late sea ice. Gulf of Alaska mostly near average for late July. @Climatologist49 @ZLabe

Scattering of temperatures at or below freezing Saturday morning in frequently cool spots Interior Alaska. Most notably, low temp of 29F at Circle Hot Springs is the first time with a July temperature in the 20s since 2015. #akwx #Summer2026 @Climatologist49

Nerd alert: fairly robust multi-model support for above normal warmth to start August in Fairbanks-land. #akwx #weather @[email protected] @[email protected]

High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Friday. Cool and rainy eastern Interior. Much milder Bristol Bay to Southcentral: it's not often in July that Cordova is the warmest community in Alaska. Cool in Southeast. #akwx #weather @[email protected]

6:15AM: 49F, sunny.
One sunny break, then the clouds/showers return. I'll allow it. Sun people need their fix too...I'm not a monster!
My Fairbanks turn & burn went great yesterday, other than being reeeeeally tired this morning. Two new implants screwed into my jaw and hardly feeling it this morning.
If you're ever in need of dental work in Fairbanks, Dr. Webster is your gal. She and her office rock. Plus she's the only periodontist in AK. 😉

Noon: 60F, cloudy in Sitka, 56F, partly cloudy in Fairbanks. Man...it feels CHILLY in the Interior. Much cooler than Sitka.
Hang on....
I'm gonna say it...
I have to say it...But it's a DRY cold.

Talkeetna Airport reported 2.91 inches (73.9mm) rain in the 24 hours ending at 10am AKDT Thursday. The USGS river gauge on the Talkeetna River above town crested overnight just above flood stage. This is this the highest crest since September 2012 and third highest on record (since 1979). #akwx #Flooding #Summer2026 @Climatologist49

High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Wednesday. Rainy and cool in southwest and southcentral Alaska. Cooler in the Interior and Yukon Territory. Southern Southeast still warm and downright hot in the Mackenzie River delta region. #akwx #weather @[email protected]

5:45AM: 54F, drizzle, fog/mist.
On the psychological side, I absolutely loved waking up to weather like this.
On the practical side I took note of the intense fog and checked flight schedules. The 6AM jet is delayed until 7:30AM due to fog.
Fingers crossed this is the result of the "front of the front" coming in and tomorrow will be non-foggy. Any flight delay out of Sitka and I'll have to cancel my trip to Fairbanks due to missing my connection in ANC. Ugh

5:45AM: 55F, mostly cloudy.
The rain, it cometh. Showery today and tomorrow.
Showers all day Friday in Sitka. I'll be in Fairbanks for round 2 of dental surgery on Friday. (Round 1 ended with rescheduled flights and NO dental work done. UGH) Luckily, Fairbanks will have essentially the same weather as Sitka.
I will be traveling on a ribbon of rain.

After last year's million acre wildfire season, Alaska 2026 season has been exceptionally low. Total area burned of about 41,200 acres (16,700 ha) is the third lowest to this point in the season since 1993. Over the past 33 years, about 75% of the total seasonal area burned has already burned by July 20. @Climatologist49 @anisian
