FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA

.DISCUSSION...
Precipitation across the Gulf of Alaska coast will taper off today
as the low pressure responsible shifts south. Warmer and drier
conditions are expected for much of southcentral today with RHs
dropping to the 35 to 45 percent range for most lower elevation
areas away from the gulf. Showers may initiate near mountains,
particularly near the Wrangells and eastern Alaska range, where
marginal instability exists. This may also contribute to a lightning
strike or too, but coverage would be quite isolated. Humidities
rebound in the Copper Basin Sunday as a series of weak easterly
waves promotes increased rain chances beginning tonight.
