How did the tornado occur in Alaska?

There have been several tornadoes in Alaska, all of which have occurred in the southern part of the state. Tornadoes are a product of strong thunderstorms, which require an unstable atmosphere. Instability occurs with a warm, moist lower atmosphere. Because of the cold climate, tornadoes are exceedingly rare in Alaska. But, contrary to popular belief, Alaska is not always cold. Temperatures have occasionally risen has high as the 90s with warm air masses surging up from the south. Such conditions could support thunderstorms and tornadoes.
