For all of you that think Fairbanks (or Alaska for that matter) is always so cold in the winter...better read our forecast for today!
...VERY WARM TEMPERATURES NEXT FEW DAYS...
A STRONG SOUTH FLOW ALOFT HAS BROUGHT VERY MILD AIR NORTH FROM THE
SUBTROPICS OVER INTERIOR ALASKA. HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE HILLS TODAY...
WEDNESDAY...AND THURSDAY...WILL EASILY REACH INTO THE 40S AND MAY EVEN
APPROACH 50 DEGREES WEDNESDAY. THE VALLEYS WILL REMAIN A LITTLE
COOLER UNDER TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS THE NEXT FEW DAYS...BUT TEMPERATURES
MAY BRIEFLY REACH TO NEAR 40 DURING THE AFTERNOONS.
THESE TEMPERATURES ARE 35 TO 40 DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR. THE RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR THE FAIRBANKS AIRPORT TODAY IS
38 DEGREES...SET IN 1985...AND FOR WEDNESDAY 42 DEGREES...SET IN 1940.
GRADUAL COOLING IS EXPECTED BY THE WEEKEND AS THE FLOW ALOFT SHIFTS
TO THE SOUTHWEST...BUT TEMPERATURES ARE STILL EXPECTED TO REMAIN
WELL ABOVE AVERAGE.
If that isn't global warming - then what is?
