Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Alaska
National Weather Service Fairbanks AK
215 PM AKDT Fri Jul 5 2024

.DISCUSSION...The next round of precip hits northwest Alaska
and areas from Galena north on Saturday into
Sunday morning before tapering off. This front will also
pull cooler air behind it dropping temperatures slightly over the weekend.
High temperatures fall into the mid 40s to mid 50s range Saturday.
Minimum RHs stay well above critical thresholds. No thunderstorms anticipated.
Winds continue out of the southwest ahead of the front turning
northwest behind the front on Saturday.

Monday`s rain chances may stay from Galena south, though there
is some uncertainty. Nonetheless, rainfall totals through
Monday are around 0.25-0.50" in the Seward Peninsula and 0.50-1.00"
in the Western Interior with the  higher elevations potentially
over 1 inch. Another front drops down from the Arctic Monday
night into Tuesday bringing more precip to the west coast.
