"Brian Brettschneider"

Alaskans shouldn’t read too much into the early season cold temperatures and snowfall.

Brettschneider says defining “termination dust” is important for building a historical record, like we have for green-up.

Parts of Western Alaska recently saw their wettest month on record, and forecasters are expecting an atmospheric river to soak Southeast.

This summer has been one of the colder summers the region has had in the last few years. But when compared with summers over the last several decades, it’s still among the hottest.

There have been some pretty incredibly high temperatures recently in the Pacific Northwest. Southeast Alaska has shared in that, with some local, daily record highs.

The new data also seems to show an overall increase in precipitation.
