Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Interior Alaska
National Weather Service Fairbanks AK
418 AM AKDT Tue May 7 2024

.DISCUSSION...A series of upper level disturbances will lift
northwest across the Interior through the end of the work
supporting showers each day. Warming trend ensues today.
Minimum relative humidity values largely remain above 25 percent
today. Slightly lower minimum relative humidity values expected
Wednesday afternoon from the Middle Tanana Valley east to the
Alcan border. Winds generally less than 15 mph. Weak southerly
gap flow in the Alaska Range passes continues through the week,
increasing Wednesday night, especially over the eastern Alaska
Range. At this time it looks like the strongest winds will be
late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning, so not
anticipating Red Flag conditions at this time.
