061 FNAK53 PAFG 080017 FWFAFG Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Interior Alaska National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 417 PM AKDT Tue May 7 2024 .DISCUSSION... Cool and wet conditions continue today into Wed AM, with drying and warming Wed PM along with southerly Chinook winds gusting to 50 mph along the Alaska Range Wed night into Thu AM. At this time it looks like strong winds will be late Wed night and early Thu AM so not anticipating Red Flag conditions at this time, but expect near Red Flag conditions from Delta Junction to Donnelly Dome early Thu afternoon. A band of rain and snow that lies from Delta Junction to Ft Yukon will move the Yukon River Bridge to Atigun Pass Tue night, and over the Northwest Alaska and the Western North Slope on Wed. A thermal low pressure trough developing over the Tanana Valley Wed will persist into Wed night then move north over the NE Interior on Thu. High pressure building south of the Alaska Range Wed and Wed night will weaken on Thu. These features, combined with southerly Chinook winds wed night, will cause warm, dry and windy conditions over the SE Interior near the Alaska Range Wed night and Thu AM. A weather front moving NE across the Interior Thu PM and Fri will cause rain and snow over the SE Interior Thu night and Fri as the Chinook winds end.
