Fairbanks Airport #snow depth remains very high for so late in the season, though 2018 was similar. Of course, no where close to spring 1991. With a big warm-up coming this weekend and lasting thru next week, look for settling and then melting coming soon. #akwx @Climatologist49
Winter hangs tough on the Seward Peninsula: Nome Airport low -16F (-26.7C) Wednesday AM, making this the lowest temp this late in the season since April 10, 2008. Unofficial lows -21F (29.4C) at Dexter & -22F (-30C) at Banner Creek north of Nome. #akwx @KNOMnews @Climatologist49
The April 1st snowpack analysis from USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service shows well above average snow water equivalent in most areas in Alaska. On April 21 10am AKDT we'll have an ACCAP webinar on 2020 break-up with @NWSAPRFC. Sign-up now at https://tinyurl.com/v4yumas #akwx
Alaska statewide temperature in March was slightly above the 20th century average, but overall this was the 4th coldest January thru March late winter season since the mid-1970s from @NOAANCEIclimate analysis. Overall, just 16th coldest since 1925. #akwx #Arctic @Climatologist49
Mostly clear sky view Tuesday afternoon of the Bering Sea & southern Chukchi Sea region from Bethel to Pt. Hope. The #seaice in the northernmost Bering held its own during the strong winds Sunday. Image courtesy @uafgina. #akwx #Arctic @Climatologist49 @KYUKNews @KNOMnews @UAFGI
March 2020 average temp & total precip rankings relative to 1981-2010 for Alaska & vicinity, courtesy @WorldClimateSvc. Most of mainland Alaska was unusually wet. These are based on ERA5 reanalysis so avoids problems with lack of reliable precip obs. #akwx #Arctic @IARC_Alaska
The late Spring (April through June) season has warmed significantly over the past half century all across Alaska. As usual, the largest increases are on the North Slope and West Coast. #akwx #ClimateChange @Climatologist49 @IARC_Alaska
There is a LOT of snow in the east-central Alaska Range. The April 1st snow course measurement at Fielding Lake (200 Mile Richardson Highway) has higher snow depth & water equivalent than any measurement (April 1st or otherwise) in the past 60 years. #akwx #snow @Climatologist49
57F (13.9C) at Cold Bay on Saturday broke the previous record high for April 4th by 8F and the highest temp so early in the season. Previous earliest temp so warm was 58F (14.4C) on April 15, 1965. Also on Sat, 58F at Pilot Point and 56F at Port Heiden. #akwx @KUCBNews @kdlgradio
It's only April 5th, and for Fairbanks, with 30.7" (78.0cm) of snow this is already the snowiest Spring (March-May) since 1967 and seventh snowiest in the past 106 years. #akwx #snow @Climatologist49 @newsminer @Anisian @rebecca_clack @joshdryer
