2012 is 7.0F above the 1991-2020 mean. For the March 1-10 period, we are 8.7F above the 1991-2020 mean. That pace is difficult, but not impossible, to sustain.

* 2 and 1/3 months.
2012 will be tough to beat.
2.5) Stop under an overpass.
At the Merrill Field ASOS (PAMR) in downtown Anchorage, the temperature dropped to -17F this morning. This is the 5th time in March 2026 it has reached at least -15F. Here is a time series with the count of -15F days in March since the ASOS was put into service in 1998. @alaskawx.bsky.social
Is there supposed to be wind tomorrow? Would be unusual.
Meanwhile, in Alaska, ...
First 10 days of March have averaged 8.7F above normal for the Contiguous U.S. 🔥
The Hilo, HI, airport reported some light ashfall yesterday during the Kilauea eruption. 🌋
So sad.
Winter > Summer
Finally, some good news.
Challenge accepted!
It's true.
A Watch has never been issued in Alaska. In theory, any of the 3 NWS offices can do it, but it has never been considered.
Fun fact: the Honolulu NWS office issues all Severe Thunderstorm/Tornado Watches for the state of Hawai'i, not the Storm Prediction Center.
Lol.
Could be producing large hail. 😃
Alaska?
The current temp of 81F in D.C. is closer to freezing than the current temp of -38F is in Fairbanks - by over 20F.
Beach weather. 🏖️
What if it was all snow? 🤔
Seems warm.
😭
Fairbanks airport just after 8am AKDT Tuesday dipped to -41F/-40.6C. This ties the record low for March 10 first set in 1931, also the latest date in the season with a temp of -40F/C or lower since 1964. #akwx #weather #Climate @carrieinfbx.bsky.social @leahwrenn.bsky.social @coyotetrail.bsky.social
Spring, details later.
Winter recap just dropped.
Earlier this winter, Anchorage had a 25-day streak with below normal temperatures (blue bar). We are currently on a new streak and are at 23 days in a row. The forecast for the next 7-10 days is at least 10F below normal each day. How long will it last??? @alaskawx.bsky.social
Didn't we see it yesterday? 🤔
Happy little trees.
