789 FNAK51 PAFC 162340 FWFAER FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 340 PM AKDT Tue Jul 16 2024 .DISCUSSION... The cooler, wetter, and cloudier pattern will continue through late week for most areas. However, Friday evening into the weekend, warmer, more summer-like temperatures are going to return to Southcentral Alaska. The upper level pattern will feature an upper level low in the Gulf of Alaska while the Mainland heats up, which is a prime pattern for easterly wave development. Models are already hinting at this development, which are notoriously difficult to forecast both timing and strength. Stay tuned to the forecast.
