SilverSalmonAK<p>5:45AM: Fair, 58F.</p><p>In personal news, I got my very first, 1st class upgrade with Alaska Airlines for my trip tomorrow.</p><p>For the *1 hour* flight from Anchorage to Fairbanks.</p><p>Sigh.</p><p><a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/MyAlaskaWx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MyAlaskaWx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/akwx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>akwx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Sitka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sitka</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alaska</span></a></p>
SilverSalmonAK<p>6:00AM: 54F, fair.</p><p>"Fair. "</p><p>It's not effing fair that we're having SO MUCH sun.</p><p>Yes, I'm grumpy. Even though it's a holiday for me, the sun is detracting greatly from my enjoyment.</p><p>All through the week until next Sunday it's sunny or partly sunny. A mere chance of rain on Friday.</p><p>I've been doing my low pressure summoning to no avail. Blech. Awful.</p><p>At least we don't live farther north or south in the SE- they are into the 80's with heat advisories!</p><p><a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/MyAlaskaWx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MyAlaskaWx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/akwx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>akwx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Sitka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sitka</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alaska</span></a></p>

SilverSalmonAK<p>6:15: 57F, fair.</p><p>We hit 69 yesterday and it was freakin' hot! Ugh.</p><p>No significant change in the forecast. We have sunny skies for the coming week.</p><p>So - again, ugh.</p><p>In personal news I decided to get a pair of glasses for emergencies (if I couldn't wear my contacts for some reason.) I love my contacts. Mono-vision works very well for me. (Long story.)</p><p>Short story: I hate bifocals with the heat of 1000 exploding suns. </p><p>So - ya know - ugh.</p><p><a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/MyAlaskaWx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MyAlaskaWx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/akwx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>akwx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Sitka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sitka</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alaska</span></a></p>
SilverSalmonAK<p>The bounty of the sea. Thanks to my partner for catching the coho and thanks to the smoker guy. 40lbs. of smoked salmon went in the freezer today.</p><p><a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alaska</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Sitka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sitka</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/HowDoYouAlaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HowDoYouAlaska</span></a></p>
SilverSalmonAK<p>6:15AM: 62F, mostly cloudy...which will burn off later to become mostly sunny.</p><p>The forecast from the NWS hasn't changed: sun all next week (hot Mon/Tues) with perhaps a wee chance of rain on Friday.</p><p>Seriously, my love of rain and dark aside, this really isn't good for us. The salmon still need rain for their life cycle and everything else in the *rain*forest needs water. </p><p>The perfect mix is a few days of good rain, then a few days of sun, rinse/repeat.</p><p><a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/MyAlaskaWx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MyAlaskaWx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/akwx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>akwx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Sitka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sitka</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alaska</span></a></p>
SilverSalmonAK<p>6:00AM: 57F, mostly cloudy. (until the hell that is the sun returns later on in all its brutal glory.) High of 70 yesterday.</p><p>This spate of sun is (almost) leaving me speechless. I'm usually so gleeful in saying there is rain in the forecast as far as the eye can see.</p><p>Now I must say there is sun (up to 72F predicted on Tuesday!!) with a heavy heart.</p><p>As a reverse SAD person I'm only half joking. This sun is really starting to get to me.</p><p><a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/MyAlaskaWx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MyAlaskaWx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/akwx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>akwx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Sitka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sitka</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alaska</span></a></p>
SilverSalmonAK<p>6:00AM: 57F, exceedingly fair.</p><p>Finally temp tally: 71 yesterday.</p><p>It looks like we have the same conditions for today and tomorrow. </p><p>I'm still predicting one of these days will be 72.</p><p>Ngl - I'm feeling a little grouchy from all the sun. Went out to dinner with a friend last night and the only seating available was directly in the setting sun's beams. By the end of the meal my hair was wet from sweat! Might be TMI - but, ugh!</p><p><a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/MyAlaskaWx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MyAlaskaWx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/akwx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>akwx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Sitka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sitka</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alaska</span></a></p>

SilverSalmonAK<p>6:00AM: 60F, overcast.</p><p>Well, well...we got to 69F yesterday.</p><p>I said I couldn't imagine we'd hit 70 and Mother Nature was kind enough to back me up.

SilverSalmonAK<p>6:45AM: 60F, foggy.</p><p>Don't let the fog fool you: clear skies are hovering just out of sight.</p><p>There are more King Salmon to catch, so the Cap'n headed out this morning. </p><p>Me?
