FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHWEST ALASKA

.DISCUSSION...
Scattered showers along a weakening front near the coast will
diminish this morning. Drier and warmer conditions are expected
today as offshore flow develops ahead of a low drifting west over
the Gulf. RHs will be lowest in the Middle Kuskokwim Valley from
Sleetmute east into the Western Alaska Range, where they dip as
low as 25 percent this afternoon. Scattered showers are forecast
this afternoon west of Sleetmute into the Kuskokwim Delta.
Though temperatures continue to trend upward for the weekend, RHs
decrease as the low in the Gulf brings increasing moisture.
Chances for wetting rain across parts of Bristol Bay and the
Middle Kuskokwim Valley as scattered to numerous showers develop
with increasing instability on Saturday.
