Did Southeast Alaska drought conditions improve or worsen during the summer of 2019 and what will autumn/winter bring?

This talk will look at how the summer of 2019 turned out from a climate and drought perspective across the temperate rainforest of Southeast Alaska and look into if the region will see a wet autumn and snowy winter. We will also go over what type of impacts were recorded throughout the summer along with a progress report on follow-up work from the Southeast Alaska Drought workshop held this past spring.
