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 total extent slightly higher than 2025 but well below the 1991-2020 median in NSIDC data. The higher concentration sea ice near the northeast Alaska coast is thicker multi-year ice from the Canadian High Arctic. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

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. 😉

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

But RAIN is in the forecast.

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

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.

#MyAlaskaWx #akwx #Sitka #Alaska

High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Wednesday. Another warm day lower Alaska Peninsula and eastern Aleutians. Cool for early September north of the Alaska Range. Near to above normal in Southcentral and Southeast Alaska. #akwx #weather

Frost of the pumpkin: Fairbanks airport Thursday morning with the first freeze of the season. This is the earliest first autumn freeze at the Airport since 2017. @Climatologist49 @anisian @mivox

High of 70F today. I guess a late summer is better than no summer. 🤣

In the meantime, up in Yakutat, they have their first frost advisory.

Enjoy 70F while ye may,
Old Time is still a'flyin'.

#MyAlaskaWx #akwx #Sitka #Alaska

High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Tuesday. Distinctly autumnal north of Alaska Range. Still quite warm in the Aleutians and lower Alaska Peninsula. Cool and rainy in southern Southeast. @xograndmagg

Whelp. Here we are. Back to days and days of sun. (Ugh, ugh, ugh.)

The best thing about our all-too-brief foray into dark and rain?

It reminded me that yes, autumn is coming. I just need to hold on!

Alaska precipitation totals in August showed a very sharp west-to-east difference relative to the 1991-2020 baseline normal. Some places in the west with three times normal. Meanwhile, Cook Inlet area, after a record wet July, was quite dry in August. Southeast also drier than normal. #akwx #Climate

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

High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Monday. Continued very warm lower Alaska Peninsula and eastern Aleutians. Cool with rain and snow Alaska Range and higher elevations in Southcentral in the morning. #akwx #weather @xograndmagg

6:00AM: 51F, overcast.

Yesterday was the best weather day we've had in, like, forever.

Rain, sometimes hard, drenching rain, all day long with a couple of thunderstorms thrown in. I even saw a lightning flash right outside my office window!

Rain totals aren't available on the NWS website any more, but I'm thinking an inch or so. Whether it was raining hard or just "showering," it came down steadily for at least 12 hours.

Our landslide risk went to medium.

#MyAlaskaWx #akwx #Sitka #Alaska

High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Sunday. Quite warm in the eastern Aleutians and lower Alaska Peninsula and above normal most of the North Slope and northern Gulf of Alaska coast. Cooler than normal most of Interior and western Alaska. #akwx #weather

My heavy rain has turned to probable showers. But hey - there's a possibility of a thunderstorm!

#MyAlaskaWx #akwx #Sitka #Alaska

Sea ice extent in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas continues to decrease and is below the 1991-2020 median in NSIDC data. However, there is still moderately high ice concentrations not far north of the Alaska coast. @Climatologist49 @ZLabe

High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Saturday. Mildest on the western Gulf of Alaska coast. Rainy in Southeast Alaska. Cooler than normal in most of the Interior. #akwx #weather
