Demonstrators packed Anchorage’s Town Square Park on Saturday for a "No Kings" protest against the Trump administration's actions affecting a range of issues, including immigration, health care and public media funding.
As the flow of evacuees has slowed, officials are preparing to begin repair and cleanup efforts in villages affected by the catastrophic storm that devastated communities in the Yukon-Kuskokwim region.

It's mostly cloudy today with a high around 43 degrees, and we should see much of the same on Tuesday and Wednesday. The forecast calls for a chance of rain later in the week, with daytime highs hovering in the low to mid-40s for the next few days.
