Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Alaska
National Weather Service Fairbanks AK
225 PM AKDT Tue Jul 2 2024
.DISCUSSION...A significant pattern change is underway as a
front moves across the area, bringing widespread wetting
rain and cooling temperatures in most of the Western Interior
from the 70s and 80s into the 60s and 70s as remnant upper-level
high-pressure ridging gets pushed to the south this afternoon into
this evening. With increasing moisture, minimum RH values will continue
in the 40s percent or higher, with a few places possibly reaching the upper 30s.
Western Alaska, especially from Galena to Nome and north, will continue
with southwesterly winds mostly in the 15 to 20 mph range
with gusts up to 30 mph, with higher winds likely on the Seward
Peninsula and in the terrain. The front will usher in more stable
air preventing any thunderstorm potential over the ensuing days.
Wednesday onward will see widespread rainfall spread southwest and
temperatures continue to fall, with most areas only making it
into the 50s and 60s Wednesday and mostly just the 50s on
Thursday. Minimum RH values will rise well above critical
thresholds. Increased southwesterly winds will continue on
Wednesday before weakening and becoming more southerly on Thursday.
