00:00Here's some impressive stuff from the Northwest.
00:02We're going to go to Fairbanks, Alaska, and we're going to bring it into the lower 48.
00:06Fairbanks has not been above freezing for a long time.
00:09In fact, think about what you were doing on Halloween, Halloween night, October 31st.
00:14That was the last time Fairbanks was actually above freezing.
00:18Incredible.
00:19Now, we're going to climb above freezing in the days to come,
00:22but this is going to be the second longest streak in Fairbanks history
00:26in which we've been consistently below freezing.
00:30We're going to be close on Sunday.
00:32We hit 32 once in January, but we didn't climb above.
00:36If we make it to 33, that will end the streak.
00:39It's more likely that we may make it until Friday of next week until we climb above freezing.
00:46It's going to be a close call on Sunday, but again, remarkable stretch.
00:49There was one longer stretch in the past century
00:52in which Fairbanks was more consistently at or below freezing for one longer spell from late 1971 to 1972.
01:02Now, Juneau, Alaska has broken its record for most snow in a winter, fall, winter, spring.
01:08Really, the snow season continues a long time there.
01:10We had 201 inches so far there in Juneau.
01:13This is in far southeast Alaska.
01:15The previous record was 2006 to 2007.
01:17The record before that was 1964-65.
01:20Juneau data goes back to 1936, so incredible stuff.
01:23We're going to take you now from the northwest most state in the nation
01:28to the northwestern contiguous U.S. states.
01:31And look at this.
01:31We're getting a change here.
01:33Snow is going to return to the Cascades.
01:34This is going to bring a cool down to California as well.
01:37So multiple waves of rain and mountain snow coming in.
01:40Still warm in the interior northwest on Saturday.
01:44Sunday, still warm.
01:45Record-challenging highs in places like Casper.
01:47But then we're going to begin to cool down Monday.
