Warm October
Seening how I was told on another forum where I use to post my weather and happening that no one really cares about Alaska weather and that they know it gets cold up here . I really have said the hell with it. So don’t expect much out of me due to imbeciles in the lower 48.
So far October been an dud. Warm weather all thru the month Last year at this time we were below zero every night. So far only one night hit 6 below. Pass week here been rain but it not from the typoon remmants that went up the Bering coast. Only the SW and W coast saw anything out of it as it pushes by Shemya. Even the heavy seas associated with the storm is staying well offshore. It is typical in September and October to have those Tropical depressions come thru either up the bering if they turn late or into the gulf if they turn early. Jet stream at present is steering that depression due north up along Siberia.
Here we got over a week ago about 2 inches of snow. Chinook came along with 70+ mph wind south of Delta junction along the Alaska range and raised temps to the mid 40’s and melted the snow. Then we been having rain every couple of days to keep cold roads slippery. This moisture is coming up from the gulf of Alaska. Latest surface chard shows an High pressure system settling on the Alaska/ Yukon Border.
Until some thing exciting happens keep an log on the fire

Thanks for the post John! We are really looking forward to your updates from Alaska, it will be fascinating to hear what the weather is doing in the Salcha Basin.
Hi John! Glad you got aboard, and the WeatherTogether team (and all the members from WeatherBug and WeatherQuack who have migrated over here) are looking forward to your reports and insights from Alaska! I’ve always enjoyed hearing about the weather from Alaska and have always loved reading your reports. Did lightning detection ever improve up there, or have the weather organizations still been skimpy with lightning detection there?
Hi Nathan.
Not sure if I answered you or not but as far as to the lighting detection here unless one has personal detection there is none. That was why I asked about weather Bug as for the app. At that time is was an wait and maybe see with your leadership. Not sure how exactly an company can provide services like that when your are suppose to be supplying weather data services. Any way if you can plant some ideas in some one head there and get it startedit might be an profitable kick start.
