536 FNAK52 PAFG 021108 FWFWCZ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Alaska National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 308 AM AKDT Tue Jul 2 2024 Starting this morning, we will see a significant pattern change as a front over eastern Russia moves in, bringing widespread wetting rains and dropping 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. With increasing moisture, minimum RH values will generally be 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 see increasing 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.
