Since Earth’s surface is 70% water, the ocean is usually a good place to start when trying to answer any climate question. For Alaska that’s the Pacific, and its temperature can make all the weather difference in the world.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - With all the sunshine and melting snow, spring is surely in the air. Beyond the seven-day forecast, inquiring minds want to know: how is the rest of our spring season shaping up?
When those same waters cool below normal, it’s called La Nina. This is the temperature phase we are in now and have been for about two years. Weather associated with this phase can be a wild roller coaster of one extreme to the other in the matter of a week or two. Sound familiar? “What’s a little different over the last few months is, it’s kind of hanging on a little stronger than is typical, and so the dates where we think it’s going to subside, keeps getting pushed a little farther into the summer,” Brettschneider.
“There’s a lot of atmospheric flows and ... what we call atmospheric teleconnections that we look at, that influence the flow of the atmosphere and where we think the winds will be coming from, and how they’re going to set up and evolve,” Brettschneider said.
