    ANCHORAGE, AK (Alaska’s News Source) - May is already coming to a close, and the climate numbers show pretty normal conditions from Anchorage to Fairbanks this month, but it’s a different story in Southeast. This May was the wettest ever recorded in Ketchikan, with more than 25″ of rain. Juneau was also much wetter and cooler than normal. Southeast will see one more day of significant rain before catching a bit of a break on Sunday, the first day of June.

As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? The students at College Gate Elementary School are thinking about that now. I was so glad I got to share with them how fun it is to be a broadcast meteorologist during their Career Week! https://t.co/ZH6t0Ge2Eo

Things are heating up in Alaska! Anchorage hit 53° today. That may not sound that warm, but it's the warmest we've been since last September, 205 days ago! Normal temperatures are in the upper 40s, and we'll stay in the upper 40s and low 50s for the rest of April. #akwx https://t.co/Dq0KUBfGdO
