Anchorage records first 70 degree temperature of the year

The thermometer at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport reached 70 degrees on Wednesday for the first time this year. It’s the warmest temperature reached in Anchorage since early September 2016.
This comes later than last summer’s first 70 degree reading, which happened on May 15. Many other spots in Southcentral Alaska also warmed into the 70s on Wednesday.
Talkeetna was the warmest, officially reporting at 73 degrees. Temperatures on Thursday will be even war
