Wind is the main concern across Alaska, with 7 active alerts and no hail threats showing up right now. The strongest impacts are along the Western Arctic Coast, where SPC-style analysis isn’t focused on AK but the local warnings point to 60 mph winds under a High Wind Warning and 65 mph surf-related winds nearby; several other coastal zones, including the Seward Peninsula, Norton Sound, Yukon Delta, Shishmaref/Bering Strait, and Kivalina/Red Dog areas, are under High Surf Advisories with winds around 50 mph.
Statewide maxima from SPC verified reports and NWS warnings, last 180 days. Tornado EF ratings are assigned by NWS survey teams after ground surveys and published in NOAA's final storm records.

How Alaska compares nationally
Ranked by SPC verified storm reports (wind, hail, tornado) across all 50 states over the last 12 months. Severity-weighted index scores each report by hazard (tornado ×20, hail ×4, wind ×1) so a single derecho's flood of wind reports doesn't outweigh tornado outbreaks. Recalculated daily as of Sep 11, 2026.
