Good Morning, SE AK. We are starting off the morning with clouds across most of the panhandle. These clouds are expected to clear out throughout the day. Meanwhile, a marine layer continues to build along the outer coast with high pressure moving in. #akwx

Good afternoon, SEAK. We are warming up nicely across the area. Sitka has tied & Klawock has broken their daily high already for the day. Below are current temps & we are expecting a few other record temps to fall through out the day. Enjoy it as clouds will return tonight. #akwx

Two daily high temperature records set back in 2021 were broken yesterday in SE AK. Sitka reached 65 degrees (old 61) and Yakutat reached 64 degrees (old 60). Warm weather continues Saturday before clouds and scattered showers move in from the south.

The clear skies for SE AK continue with not a cloud in the sky over the area. Looking at our Day Cloud Phase derived satellite imagery, the closest clouds are over the gulf. We can also see the snow and ice coverage in green for the panhandle. #akwx

During the spring, frozen ground reduces the amount of water from melting snow or rainfall that can seep into the ground. A rapid warming can cause excessive melt water from the snowpack that can overflow streams, rivers and lakes.

For those who are awake, the aurora is out in force over the panhandle as seen on FAA Webcams below. A great way to start a Friday with more clear weather! #akwx
