September precipitation splits sharply between northern and southern Alaska

Original: Big split in September precipitation relative to normal between northern and southern Alaska. At or near record high Sep

September precipitation across Alaska showed a stark north-south divide, with totals at or near record highs along a band around 65°N latitude from west to east in the northern part of the state. In contrast, Southwest, Southcentral, and Southeast Alaska, along with the upper Tanana Valley, remained dry, according to climate observers discussing the unusual monthly pattern.

Why now: The unusually stark regional split, with near-record wet conditions in the north and drought-like dryness in the south, is drawing attention from weather watchers amid broader interest in climate anomalies.
