The real answer is that weather is very often influenced by the interactions in contiguous zones, like from the Rockies to the Plains.
How contiguous is Alaska to Montana? Will Alaska weather affect Montana?
Will Hawaii weather affect California?
You do notice that most of the coastal areas do include a few hundred miles of ocean conditions, but not the thousands of miles to Hawaii, and Hawaii itself produces negligible weather influences in the weather pattern anyway.
Alaska has a huge weather influence, but that gets blocked by the jet stream most of the time, and also Canada, making the weather from Canada a lot more impactful.
It's called an "Alberta Clipper", not an "Alaska Clipper" for a reason.
