Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Alaska
National Weather Service Fairbanks AK
219 PM AKDT Sat Jun 29 2024
.DISCUSSION....
Today, isolated thunderstorms will be confined to south slope of
the Western Brooks Range and the Noatak Valley with wetting rain
likely in areas northeast of Shungnak. On Sunday, thunderstorm
potential returns for areas south of a line from the Lower Yukon
Valley to the Western Alaska Range, with a higher coverage along
the Upper Kuskokwim Valley area. Temperatures warm this weekend,
with highs in the western Interior back to around 80 on Sunday.
Minimum RH values in the 25 to 35 percent range by Sunday.
Major pattern shift begins Tue and Wed as the upper ridge breaks
down and a strong front moves into the NW Arctic and shifts east
through the week, bringing potential wetting rains and much cooler
temps, although strong southwest winds may create some critical
fire weather conditions prior to that. Will continue to monitor.
