... Heat wave continues across western Alaska...
Temperatures have reached into the 80s and lower 90s across
the interior and West Coast of Alaska today. These very hot
conditions are expected to continue through Thursday.
The heat wave is being caused by a blocking high pressure system
in the upper atmosphere that will remain parked over the interior
and West Coast of Alaska through Thursday. The high pressure will
then slowly recede east starting on Friday as a series of weak
weather systems move north across Alaska. This will bring slightly
cooler temperatures and a chance of thunderstorms to the interior
and West Coast of Alaska Friday through the weekend.
Some high temperatures so far today around the interior are:
