We are aware of an issue currently preventing some observations from appearing on our frontpage map, and are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. In the meantime, here are alternative sources of this same information from the NWS:

METAR and SPECI Observations map | METAR and SPECI observations text
Sources for 5 minute observations:
- NWS Weather and Hazards Data viewer. To see trends in the observation on the Weather and Hazards Data viewer, simply click on the airport of choice and select the 3 or 7 day Historical Observations links
- Alphabetical list of airports with direct links to 5 minute METAR and Advisory weather observations

The Alaska Aviation Weather Unit is soliciting feedback on proposed changes to Surface and Significant Weather Charts through October 29, 2025.

Additional information including examples and how to submit your feedback is available at https://www.weather.gov/aawu/graphicupdate.
