Good morning! What a warm Thursday we experienced in North Pole! We had a high of 36 degrees. For the beginning of November, this is very warm. Our average high is 16 degrees and the average low is 1 below zero. So, we were definitely above average, yesterday.
We will remain a little above average today. We should see decreasing clouds this afternoon with highs reaching between 20 and 25 degrees. Tonight we will see increasing clouds after midnight and a low between 0 and 5 above zero.
The rest of the seven day forecast looks rather uneventful. Since the jet stream is running well south of Alaska, we will not see any major outbreaks of precipitation, as it is pull all the moisture well south of us. As I have said many times, this forecast is subject to change. The NWS forecast changes from update to update. So, we will just have to wait and see what happens.
As I was listening to our local news last night, I heard an interesting weather fact about the state of Alaska. Okay, are you ready for this? The coldest temperature ever recorded in the United States of Alaska was in Prospect Creek, Alaska. Prospect Creek is 180 miles north of Fairbanks. The temperature on January 23, 1971 was 80 below zero! Brrrr, that's cold!
