Anchorage, Alaska
Weekend air in Anchorage sits near 66°F / 58°F, plus only light rain on the books (~0.10 in) — enough to decide whether the trip is on.
With highs near 66°F, Anchorage works as a food-and-wander weekend — patio time, a long lunch, then whatever the evening weather allows.
If the numbers still look good by Friday, lock the plan around 66°F — not a vague “nice weather somewhere.”
