Sitka Airport WeatherCam

Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport (PASI) sits on Japonski Island across the harbor from downtown Sitka in Southeast Alaska. This FAA WeatherCam captures the maritime weather and dramatic mountain backdrop that defines aviation here. The airport's single runway sits at sea level between Mount Edgecumbe (a dormant volcano on Kruzof Island visible to the west) and the Sisters Mountains on Baranof Island. Approaches thread through narrow gaps in the surrounding peaks. PASI is served by Alaska Airlines with daily 737 jet service to Juneau and Seattle (with seasonal direct service to Anchorage), plus Harris Air for floatplane service to surrounding communities. Cruise ship season (May through September) brings significant additional aviation traffic with charter flights for cruise passengers heading to nearby fjords, Glacier Bay, and remote fishing lodges. Weather in Sitka is wet, mild, and famous for its consistency. Annual rainfall averages 90+ inches; temperatures rarely go below 20°F in winter or above 70°F in summer. Snow falls but rarely accumulates much at sea level. The maritime climate creates a near-constant 50-shades-of-gray sky that occasionally breaks open for the clearest blue days you'll ever see in coastal Alaska. Sitka has the deepest Russian colonial history of any U.S. city — it was the capital of Russian America from 1808 until the 1867 sale to the United States. The Russian Bishop's House, St. Michael's Cathedral, and Sitka National Historical Park preserve that history. The town is also a major hub for Southeast Alaska commercial fishing (especially salmon and halibut) and home to the Sitka Sound Science Center, the Alaska Raptor Center, and the Sitka Summer Music Festival every June.
