Warm October

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

  1. 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?

    1. 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.

      John
