Some sun coming back mid-week. Then off & on maybe/kinda/sorta chance of showers/cloudy/booooring!
When I woke up this morning, I found myself wishing for our October/November storms!

The rapid drop of sea ice extent in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas during early August has leveled out, and ice extent is now close to the 1991-2020 median in NSIDC data. The slow-down is the result of low concentration ice being moved around by currents and the wind. @ZLabe @Climatologist49

6:00AM: 54F, overcast.
Showers today - the main rain is staying south of us.
As long as it's cloudy, I'm all good. 😉

Sea surface temperature departures from the 1991-2020 baseline average around Alaska for the week ending August 21 from NOAA data. Northern and western Bering Sea warmer than normal and Gulf of Alaska near to above normal. Continued cool in the southeast Bering Sea. Cool areas in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas reflecting persistent sea ice. @Climatologist49 @ZLabe

5:45AM: 58F, light rain, fog/mist.
The NWS is leading me on a roller-coaster. Last night all the "rain" had changed to only "showers" for the next few days. Now "rain" is back for Sunday and Monday.
Weather is a fickle mistress.

Losing federal support for the Arctic Report Card has consequences beyond the bare facts. Losing leadership and losing unified info in an increasing chaotic world matters a lot. #akwx #Arctic #Climate
