...TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL AND PRECIPITATION BELOW NORMAL FOR ALL
OF SE AK FOR THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY...
The month was dominated by a combination of northeasterly outflow
wind regimes from strong areas of high pressure centered over the
northern British Columbia / Canadian Yukon region that brought dry
and mostly clear conditions to the region and mainly weak to average
frontal systems that approached the Panhandle that brought mostly
light to moderate precipitation on average to the area. The average
temperature for the month was very near normal for all 4 climate
sites. All of the sites were appreciably below normal in terms of
total monthly liquid equivalent precipitation. The values ranged
from 1.4 inches below normal for Juneau Airport to 7.55 inches below
normal for the Ketchikan Airport with the other 2 sites having their
below normal magnitudes in between those 2 values.
On the 1st of February, the Juneau Airport broke its daily snow
accumulation total record with 7.0 inches, which exceeded the
previous record of 6.5 inches set all the way back in 1961. On the
16th of the month, the Ketchikan Airport broke its record high
temperature with 55 degrees, which exceeded the old record of 54
degrees set all the way back in 1964. On that same day, the Yakutat
Airport broke its record high temperature with 48 degrees, which
exceeded its old record of 47 degrees set in both 2015 and 2016.
