Much of the country will see a dive in temperatures this weekend, but Alaska continues to bake with record highs.
Parts of the state have had their earliest 70-degree readings on record. Klawock, a town in southeastern Alaska, reached 70 F on March 19 -- the earliest any spot in the state has hit that high.More records are expected to be broken this weekend, with temperatures soaring as much as 50 degrees above normal in the fastest-warming state.Meanwhile, Northeastern cities such as Boston are still awaiting a 70-degree day more than a week after spring officially began.
— Brian Brettschneider March 28, 2019 Fairbanks is no different. Until this week, the city had never had consecutive days in March when temperatures stayed above freezing. On Monday and Tuesday mornings, the temps didn't dip below 34 F. According to Alaska-based climatologist Brian Brettschneider, "the earliest date for back-to-back above freezing low temperatures was April 15-16, 1978.
— Rick Thoman March 27, 2019 Such comfy temperatures and an early spring may seem like a good thing for Alaskans, but they're far from it. The effects of climate change are affecting Alaska faster than most places, with many climatologists considering it to be ground zero in the warming world. Coping with the challenges of this changing landscape has become a harsh reality for residents of our northernmost state. CNN's Monica Garrett contributed to this report.
