We've updated our story on the historic storm affecting Western Alaska.
Thoman said that one of the more striking aspects of the storm, from a climate perspective, was its arrival so early during Alaska’s winter storm season.
Early Saturday afternoon, the National Weather Service said the storm was continuing its trajectory up the western coast of Alaska, and the center of the storm was now above the Diomede Islands in the Bering Strait. “These tropical cyclones typically are further south,” Ostman said. “This one developed much higher and was able to track further north.”National Weather Service climatologist Brian Brettschneider said the reality was like forecasters’ “worst-case scenario.”
