655 FNAK52 PAFG 172208 FWFWCZ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Alaska National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 208 PM AKDT Mon Jun 17 2024 ...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FOR FIRE WEATHER ZONES 930, 951 AND 952... .DISCUSSION...Red flag conditions will continue through this afternoon until 10pm. Thunderstorms are beginning to develop around McGrath and we expect continued development through this evening. Warm conditions will continue with highs today in the mid to upper 70 and cooling down tomorrow in the 60s to low 70s range. Minimum RH values will stay above 30% today and tomorrow. Tomorrow will see isolated to scattered thunderstorms throughout much of the western interior from McGrath to the Brooks Range. The more persistent storms could see up to 0.25" of rain. Tonight could see thunderstorms from Galena north to the Brooks Range. However, the confidence for this is low. If there is no lightning there still could be persistent rain showers through night in that area. Which could help wet the area for when the main lightning threat starts in the afternoon tomorrow.
