FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
318 AM AKDT Thu May 30 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Widely scattered showers will persist across the coastal
mountains today as southeasterly flow ahead of a stalled front
over the northern Gulf pushes moisture toward the Southcentral
coast. An upper-level wave moving north across interior
Southcentral this afternoon will trigger isolated showers from the
Susitna Valley to the western Copper River Basin. An isolated wet
thunderstorm is possible over the eastern foothills of the
Talkeetna Mountains. Gusty south to southeasterly gap winds that
persisted overnight may diminish for a few hours early this
morning. However, these winds will increase again beginning
around noon as the trough moves through the region. These winds
are expected to diminish late Thursday evening. A warming and
drying trend continues into Friday with lighter winds.
