  1. 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

  2. High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Tuesday. Rainy and cool over parts of western and central Alaska. Still warm from the southeast Interior eastward into Yukon Territory and especially the MacKenzie valley, NWT. Bonus warm day in upper Bristol Bay. #akwx #weather

  3. 6:00AM: 49F, a few clouds.

    The rain for Friday & Saturday has changed to "heavy rain."

    I'm counting the days until the sun goes away again.

    Speaking of the sun going away, Dolly Parton died yesterday, which is enough to make any day incredibly dark and sad.

  4. 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

  8. High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Sunday. Cool and rainy across western Alaska and in the upper Tanana Valley. Southcentral was the mildest region in Alaska, which is not uncommon at this time of year. #akwx #weather

  9. 5:45AM: 54F, overcast.

    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!

  10. 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

  11. High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Saturday. Temperatures overall are trending down but still near to above normal most areas, especially northern Yukon Territory and the lower Mackenzie River valley. Southcentral into Southwest Alaska were cooler than normal. #akwx #weather

  12. 6:00AM: 54F, overcast.

    Showers today - the main rain is staying south of us.

    As long as it's cloudy, I'm all good. 😉

  13. 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

  14. High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Friday. Continued warm for late August in northwest Canada and adjacent areas in Alaska. Also mild in the Aleutians. Rainy and cool across much of western Alaska. #akwx #weather

  15. 6:00AM: 57F, overcast.

    Rain likely, then rain for the next few days.

    I'm here for it.

    'Nuff said.
