Good morning! This week looks to be rather tranquil here in the Interior. The National Weather Service calls for mostly clear skies, highs between 25 and 35, and lows between 0 and 5 above for the next seven days. I certainly seems like Spring is upon us!

Current Conditions at 6:30 a.m.:

Skies: Clear
Temperature: 7
RH: 48%
BP: 30.08 and rising
Sunrise: 7:43 a.m.
Sunset: 8:14 p.m.

Conditions from around the state at 6:30 a.m.:

Anaktuvuk Pass: Fair and 1

Anchorage: Overcast and 28

Barrow: Partly Cloudy and -9

Bethel: A few clouds and 6

Bettles: Fair and -8

Chicken: Partly Cloudy and -26

Cold Bay: Overcast and 24

Denali National Park: No Report

Ft. Yukon: Clear and -4

Juneau: Overcast and 31 (A chance of snow later today. Up to 2 inches)

King Salmon: Mostly Cloudy and 18

Kotzubue: Fair and 4

McGrath: Fair and -11

Nome: Fair and 3

St. Paul Island: Overcast and 21

Valdez: Overcast and 30


It's amazing to see the temperature ranges across the state, from as low as -26 in Chicken in the interior, to as warm as 31 in Juneau in the panhandle. A 57 degree difference and over 500 miles apart!

This weekend was so warm in North Pole and Fairbanks (between 25 and 45 above) that much of our snow is beginning to melt! It is warm enough that a few hearty Alaskans were wearing shorts this weekend!
