FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
418 AM AKDT Fri May 3 2024
.DISCUSSION...
The forecast remains largely status quo. Another low moving from
the eastern Bering into the Gulf of Alaska will bring another
front to Kodiak and then into the Kenai Peninsula and areas
adjacent to the Prince William Sound. Downsloping southeast flow
will keep much of the western Kenai, Anchorage, and Mat-Su valley
largely dry through the weekend. The best chance for measurable
precip will be in and around Homer. Winds will remain mostly in
the 10-20 mph range for much of the Kenai Peninsula. Gusty
afternoon winds through the Turnagain and Knik Arms will increase
each day through Saturday.
