Wednesday on Alaska News Nightly

As Alaska's climate changes, Anchorage is adapting its plans to respond and prepare. Plus, outmigration and the loss of many federal jobs are expected to drive employment numbers down this year in Southeast. And, seasoned aurora hunters share their tips for catching a glimpse of the northern lights.

Reports tonight from:

Wesley Early and Ava White in Anchorage
Avery Ellfeldt in Haines
Clarise Larson and Alix Soliman in Juneau
Patrick Gilchrist in Fairbanks
Liz Ruskin in Washington D.C.
