FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHWEST ALASKA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
354 AM AKDT Wed Jul 17 2024
.DISCUSSION...
An upper low moving across Southwest Alaska will bring cooler
temperatures, rain showers, and relatively light winds through
tonight. A ridge builds in from the Bering Sea by Thursday and
Friday, gradually warming max temps into the 60s and 70s. Slight
chance for isolated wet thunderstorms to develop along the western
edge of the Western Alaska Range in the afternoon for today and
tomorrow. Persistent westerly low will likely keep any developing
cells over the terrain.
