High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Sunday. Warm air pushed north by ex-typhoon Halong evident in widespread well above normal temperatures central and eastern mainland Alaska. Not often that the state high temp is in Denali National Park, but Sunday was one of those days. #akwx #weather

Map centered on Alaska showing site-specific high temperatures (ºF) on Sunday, October 12, 2025. Plotted temperature range from 30F at Anadyr, Russia to 61F at Kantishna, AK.

Immigration-related arrests in Alaska have more than quadrupled under the Trump administration.

My latest story is about the shock some Alaskans are feeling amid the sudden spike in ICE activity, and how they are stepping up to help those detained.
