There were more than fireworks in Alaska’s skies on the Fourth of July. A rare funnel cloud appeared in a remote area south of the Denali Highway around 5:00 p.m., about 55 miles west of Paxson and 55 miles southeast of Cantwell. It drew the attention of National Weather Service forecasters after it was captured on video, as Rhonda McBride from our flagship station KNBA reports.
