the us weather service says 90 degrees fahrenheit — or 32 celsius — was recorded at anchorage airportround 30 celsius — while the average at this time of the year is just 18. brian brettschneider, who's in anchorage, is a climate researcher at the university of alaska fairbanks. he told us climate change is affecting everything. the entirety of alaska has been warming quite a bit in the last number of decades and it is unquestionable that we are several degrees warmer, and you add a warm air mass on top of a warmed world, then these records are far more likely to occur. these kinds of temperatures that we've seen, is this where we expected to be with unchecked climate change, or is this worse or better than you thought it might be? well, i know, you know, there are are a number of projected temperature ranges for 50—100 years, this kind of temperature was off our radar. we didn't expect anything like this for quite a long time. so it's kind of caught everyone off guard, and perhaps may be something we should expect to see in decades to come. what did it actually mean for anchorage and

let's speak to brian brettschneider, who's in anchorage.sity of alaska fairbanks. brian, thank you so much for your time. first of all, is this climate change? well, the entirety of alaska has been warming quite a bit in the last number of decades and it is unquestionable we are several degrees warmer and you add a warm air mass on top of a warmer world, and these records are far more likely to occur. these kinds of temperatures that we've seen, is this where we expected to be with unchecked climate change, or is this worse or better than you thought it might be? well, i know, you know, there are are a number of temperatures projections and 50— 100 yea rs temperatures projections and 50— 100 years —— in 50— 100 years, this kind of temperature was off our radar. we didn't expect anything like this for quite a long time. so it's kind of caught everyone off guard and perhaps may be something we should expect to see in decades to come. what did it mean for anchorage and alaska to have these kind of temperatures that are so unusual at this time

in anchorage. low pressure is passing by even though we are not receiving the rain, we are receiving a breeze. light to moderate breeze from the ocean that will keep temperatures and check and prevent us from getting anything resembling a heat wave. watch the change from tomorrow cloud cover is pushing inland thursday morning, and for treats in the afternoon and comes back pretty quickly thursday evening. we will show you that forecast calling for all that white which is low cloud cover above the area and specifically san francisco between eight and 10:00 on thursday. not a guarantee but an increasing likelihood come thursday night. some clouds will be around for the fireworks in the city and of course sunnier on friday. san jose 77, some very pleasant and not hot not cold, 76 in san francisco. we begin warming up in friday the warmest days will likely be saturday and sunday, mid-80s to low 90s inland and upper 60s to low 70s near the bay. this particular pattern will likely keep low clouds around

now a big concern with plumes of smoke covering the mountains close to the state's largest city anchorage. forecasters say alaska's heat wave a factor in making the fires worse may continue for weeks for the foreseeable future this is going to hold in place that week window that we work out in time for events like this that i'm capable of forecasting for it looks like it's going to hold for now so yeah pretty hot hot and dry to be continued for sure the role the climate change plays is something at the back of many people's minds here they call it just say alaska summers appear to be getting longer and hotter if that trend continues shared resources could be stretched to breaking point and gallacher al-jazeera stilling alaska. what products keep the focus on alaska it's really important right now yes i mean they had the warmest june on record says just progressing from that it most likely is a climate change story this is because it stands at the moment and you just saw the fires well the happy a bit is all those 86 fahrenheit yes they do like for say took about 30 celsius in anchorage an

it was warmer in anchorage, alaska than it was in san jose. it will be warmer than the entire bay area tomorrow where it is forecasted to have the highest temperature ever recorded in modern history, 87 is the forecast for anchorage tomorrow. mid 50s for us tonight, vallejo 56, mountain view 55, santa rosa 50. you'll be the cool spot. interesting with our microclimates not every spot in the bay area has its warmest month in july. most of the country does. livermore does, san jose does in santa rosa and sonoma, the warmest month is august and of course in san francisco where it is still mighty brisk in the summertime. september is the warmest month there. we do microclimates better than any other place in the country. pollen can be this pretty bad this time of the year, it is not right now between a 3-5 as we get to the weekend. good news there if you're an allergy sufferer it is not as widespread as it was a few weeks ago. we will have widespread tomorrow night, low cloud cover and fog here is the reason why. low-pressure area making his close

it was warmer in anchorage than it was in livermore. livermore you are above average. 89 the warm spot in concord, several cisco 65. mid 50s in vallejo, fremont and san jose. and 56 year low in fairfield. let us get right to the maps because we do have a change coming. it's near about 12 hours too late because if this low had left this morning and this ridge got closer this morning, we would be talking about a more compressed marine layer, a lighter onshore flow and likely clear skies around san francisco. we are not talking about that the low is still too close, the marine layer thick enough and the flow from the ocean strong enough for tonight will likely feature the most widespread low cloud cover we are going to see him next several nights and the past several nights as well. then this ridge of high pressure builds in and we will be warmer as soon as tomorrow. if you're heading into san francisco you will get a great view of some beautiful he patriotic colored clouds. >> low cloud cover hugging the coastline. 9-10:00 tonight. it wil

for the first time in modern history, anchorage, alaska hit 90 degrees. in anchorage, on the water, alaska it was hotter than concord, hotter than livermore and certainly hotter than san jose. anchorage was 25 degrees warmer than san francisco today. seven cisco 65 degrees. overnight, mid 50s. 53 and seven cisco, 50 and santa rosa. we have a ridge of high pressure that is getting closer, just a little too late. low pressure leaving oregon and exiting to the east just a little too late. if the change is going to happen tomorrow would happen tonight, we would have very little, if any fog and likely beautiful viewing for the fireworks. but it is happening about 12 hours too late. this will move tomorrow and this rate will go closer tomorrow. the marine layer will get compressed and not push as far inland or be as strong of a push from the ocean. all that will be wonderful news if it happened tonight, it is not, i am telling you what will happen tomorrow. tonight widespread local clouds, but everywhere we are clear and livermore and san jose we are clear. it
