The National Weather Service has issued an unusual heat warning. It’s for a portion of the state of Alaska, which is known more for cold weather than anything considered hot. Heat warnings for Alaska are a new addition from the Weather Service.
The current heat warning is centered on Alaska’s central and eastern Interior, including the communities of Tanana, Fairbanks, Fort Yukon, and Eagle. The warning takes effect at 1 p.m. Sunday and continues through early evening on Monday.
Government forecasters predict the hottest temperatures, in the range of 87°F to 89°F, are expected in the Yukon flats, a huge wetland area in the central part of the state. Slightly cooler highs of 85°F to 87°F are forecast for the middle and lower Tanana Valley, also in the state’s interior where Fairbanks is located.
