Anchorage weather
It's overcast today with a high near 58 degrees and a chance of scattered rain showers. There's a chance of rain on Tuesday as well, but we should see partly sunny skies later this week. Daytime temperatures will hover in the low to mid-60s for the next few days.
Here’s what else is making headlines in Alaska today.
