With the long run of rain the city has seen this fall, it’s possible that Anchorage and surrounding areas could make a run at the wettest year on record.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Anchorage has seen numerous rainfall records this summer and that trend will likely continue into fall. With the wet and cooler weather pattern showing no signs of letting up, it’s possible that Anchorage and surrounding areas could make a run at the wettest year on record.
For Friday morning, we’re holding onto some scattered to widespread rain for much of Southcentral Alaska, with areas along the Kenai Peninsula and north of Willow staying on the drier side. While most of the rain today will remain over Prince William Sound, we’ll keep a chance of showers for the rest of Southcentral in the forecast. In areas that manage to see more rain through the day, highs will stay in the 40s.
The heaviest rain for today will fall in Southeast Alaska, where anywhere from 1 to 2 inches of rain can be expected. The outlook ahead continues to favor a wet and breezy weather pattern for much of the Panhandle. The wettest year on record is 1989, a year that saw 27.54 inches of rain. Anchorage has already eclipsed the 20-inch mark for the year, meaning we are closing in on what could be a run at the wettest year in more than three decades. Even if no rain were to manage to fall for the rest of the year, Anchorage would still end this year as one of the five wettest years on record for the city.
While Southcentral is holding onto a wet and cooler weather pattern, parts of the Chugach Mountain Range, Copper River Basin, Interior and North Slope will hold onto a chance for a wintry mix as cooler air continues to settle into the region. For Western Alaska, we’ll hold onto elevated surf conditions as a low in the Bering Sea keeps unsettled weather around into the weekend.

The Roots of Evil | Vanity Fair | May 1989When serial killer Ted Bundy went to the electric chair after ten years of scrutiny on death row—and countless reports, television programs, and books—he was still a chilling enigma. Composed, lucid, personally charming, the man who defended himself at his own trial seemed to have no connection with the other Ted Bundy, the depraved monster who lured at least thirty girls to gruesome deaths. Now, for the first time, some of the shadows have been illuminated. MYRA MACPHERSON obtained the exclusive help of psychiatrist Dr. Dorothy Lewis, who was with Bundy for his last hours, and has reconstructed the formative roots of a serial killer. What she found was a reality very different from his mother’s picture of a normal childhood and adolescence—and Bundy’s own claim that pornography was to blame.
