With rather light winds, highs around 40 felt warmer than they were, which is something unusual of late. Perhaps it’s the acclimation from this chilly January?

As usual, the warmth in Alaska is connected to the chill here. High pressure in the region helps displace cold from the northern latitudes and into our region.
