Record temperatures scorching Alaska as July kicks off

The abnormal heat will continue to dry out the already baked ground, fueling more wildfires in what has already been a record fire season in the Last Frontier.
Alaska, traditionally one of the coldest states in the country, is set to see an unusually warm start to July thanks to a heat dome parking itself over the region. Temperatures could rise up to 20 degrees F above normal in the northernmost state, with temperatures rising well into the 80s to near 90 F.
Wildfires have already burned over a million acres in Alaska even though it is still very early in the fire season.
