Temperatures warming across Alaska this week
ANCHORAGE, AK (Alaska’s News Source) - It’s been a cooler and wetter than normal start to June across Southcentral, but that changes after today when heat, already in place across the Interior, moves south.
A quick-moving area of low pressure in the northern Pacific will bring clouds, a quick band of rain, and cooler temperatures to Southcentral on Tuesday. The storm will move through quickly with a return to drier weather by the end of the day. High temperatures will hold in the upper 50s and low 60s across much of the region.
Further north, high pressure is in full force, and that means near record heat across the Interior. High temperatures will climb to the upper 80s and low 90s for the Interior, including Fairbanks, on Tuesday. A Heat Advisory, along with Red Flag Warnings, is in effect because of the hot and dry conditions.
The heat is also contributing to historic flooding from the Brooks Range to the Arctic coast, where high water and erosion are a concern from rapid snowmelt. If you live in this area, please pay close attention to the water levels.
