I would say the wind advisory overnight verified. The 71 mph was up on the dam, at approximately 865ft ASL.

A beautiful evening for a hike up Yellow Hill to see the sunset. Also, a photo of the caterpillar form of the Spotted Tussock Moth.

Got the CRN gauge emptied just in time for tonight’s heavy rainfall so it doesn’t miss recording any of it! We’ve already picked up more rain today than we had in the entire month up to this point!

A little fog action this morning. The main marine layer was moving from right to left, but these lower clouds moved left to right. You can see a darker area on the surface of the water as they track into the bay.

Wow…hope my weather station doesn’t get damaged! And hope peoples’ vehicles and houses do okay. 80 mph and baseball size hail doesn’t happen very often there!

Windroses created from some of my weather stations here on Annette Island, covering the period of January 7, 2025 - January 7, 2026. These are using the reported gust speed (mph) and direction to create 16-point roses.

July 7, 2019…a very rare day in Cold Bay, AK where the high temperature reached or exceeded 70F. Since 1950 there have only been 37 days where the temperature reached or exceeded 70F. 4 of those days are from 2019. The all-time record high for Cold Bay is 77F, set in 1960.

Forestry has been working hard this week to clear out the trees around the old WWII observation post my weather station is on top of. Look at the view those on duty would have had back then!

One of the 3 stations I have set up in Virginia. It has been up and running since November 2019, and it has a new all-time record high. This all-time record high will likely only survive 1 day, as tomorrow looks to be slightly warmer! 🔥 @traviskoshko.bsky.social

What is Alaska’s largest in diameter hailstone record? Looking through the storm events database, I see a couple of mentions of unofficial reports of golf ball sized hail (1.75”), but it looks like maybe the “official” largest is roughly 1.50”? @climatologist49.bsky.social @alaskawx.bsky.social

Is there any way to get the CRN station added to the Annette Airport area thread? It would be nice to have the highs/lows/precipitation records updating again. The thread stops in 2019 when the ASOS was taken out…the CRN is roughly 0.6 miles to the NW of the old ASOS location.

Some of the trees and brush have been cleared from around the WWII structure the Point Davison weather station was mounted on, but there is still a good chunk to go. Back during WWII, the entire area was devoid of trees, so everything in the photos are post war growth.
