FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHWEST ALASKA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
325 PM AKDT Sat Jun 29 2024
.DISCUSSION...
An area of low pressure over the Bering and eastern Aleutians will
keep conditions cool and unsettled along the Southwest coast
through the remainder of the weekend and into early next week.
Expect widespread showers along the coast as a front moves
advances toward the region. Farther inland, conditions will be a
bit warmer and drier. A weak upper-level wave will move from the
Alaska Range northwest over the Yukon Delta on Sunday. This
feature will help initiate widespread shower activity for the
Middle Kuskokwim Valley Sunday. There is marginal instability
with this feature which may result in the potential for an
isolated wet thunderstorm, mainly from Lime Village to Sleetmute
SUnday afternoon and evening. Any thunderstorm activity is
expected to be limited, though, due to high amount of cloud cover
and likely cooler temperatures with this system. This system will
also bring an increase in southeasterly wind gusts across interior
Bristol Bay, Nushagak Hills, and Kuskokwim Mountains for Sunday.
