The National Weather Service issues Alaska's first-ever heat advisory
ANCHORAGE — For the first time ever, parts of Alaska will be under a heat advisory — but you can put an asterisk at the end of that term. It's not the first instance of unusually high temperatures in what many consider the nation's coldest state, but the National Weather Service only recently allowed for heat advisories to be issued there. Information on similarly warm weather conditions previously came in the form of 'special weather statements.' Using the heat advisory label could help people better understand the weather's severity and potential danger, something a nondescript 'special weather statement' didn't convey. The first advisory is for Sunday in Fairbanks, where temperatures are expected to top 85 degrees. Fairbanks has been warmer in the past, but this is unusual for June, officials said. Here's what to know about Alaska's inaugural heat advisory: The National Weather Service's switch from special weather statements to advisories was meant to change how the public views the information. 'This is an important statement, and the public needs to know that there will be increasing temperatures, and they could be dangerous because Alaska is not used to high temperatures like these,' said Alekya Srinivasan, a Fairbanks-based meteorologist. 'We want to make sure that we have the correct wording and the correct communication when we're telling people that it will be really hot this weekend,' she said. The change doesn't reflect unprecedented temperatures, with Fairbanks having reached 90 degrees twice in 2024, Srinivasan said. It's purely an administrative change by the weather service. 'It's not that the heat in the interior that prompted Fairbanks to issue this is record heat or anything like that. It's just now there's a product to issue,' said Rich Thoman, a climate specialist at the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy. Thoman also clarified that the term swap doesn't have anything to do with climate change. 'I think some of it is related to the recognition that hot weather does have an impact on Alaska, and in the interior especially,' Thoman said. While the temperatures in the forecast wouldn't be considered extreme in other U.S. states, Thoman noted that most Alaska buildings don't have air conditioning. 'And just the opposite, most buildings in Alaska are designed to retain heat for most of the year,' he said. People can open their windows to allow cooler air in during early morning hours — if wildfires aren't burning in the blaze-prone state. But if it's smoky and the windows have to remain shut, buildings can heat up very rapidly. 'Last year was the third year in a row in Fairbanks with more than a hundred hours of visibility-reducing smoke, the first time we've ever had three consecutive years over a hundred hours,' he said. There have only been two summers in Fairbanks in the 21st century with no hours of smoke that reduced visibility, a situation he said that was commonplace from the 1950s to the 1970s. The Juneau and Fairbanks weather service offices have been allowed to issue heat advisories beginning this summer, but not the office in the state's largest city of Anchorage — at least not yet. And, regardless, temperatures in the area haven't reached the threshold this year at which a heat advisory would be issued. Brian Brettschneider, a climate scientist with the weather service, said by email that the Anchorage office is working on a plan to issue such advisories in the future. Thiessen writes for the Associated Press.

Chicago weather: Cloudy start to Saturday, but clearing, warm conditions ahead
CHICAGO - Saturday morning started out with gray cloud cover, but it's expected to get better with sunshine coming in the afternoon. Fox 32 Meteorologist Mark Strehl has the forecast. What to Expect The visibility was not horrible early Saturday, according to Strehl, in most areas, but there was a low cloud ceiling. That is expected to lift toward midday and especially into the afternoon when more sunshine is coming. With that increasing sunshine, the temperatures should rise with forecasted highs into the upper 70s, and even 80 across the Chicago area. As always, it will be cooler along the lake. There were some showers in the neighborhood overnight, but the light lingering rain was south of the Chicago area to start Saturday. What's next For your Father's Day Sunday, there is lots of sunshine expected. Temperatures will rise to around 80 degrees with fair skies and temps dropping into the 60s on Sunday night.
