FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHWEST ALASKA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
257 PM AKDT Wed May 1 2024
.DISCUSSION...
A front lifts to the Southwest coast today, bringing some chance
for wetting rain along the northern Bristol Bay coast. Isolated
showers will be possible across the rest of Southwest Alaska, with
very light precipitation totals. Scattered showers are more
likely to bring a few hundredths of an inch of rain in the Lower
Kuskokwim Valley. Southeasterly winds developing today will allow
RH values to drop into the 40s for portions of the Kuskokwim Delta
and Western Alaska Range today and Thursday. More significant
chances for wetting rain arrive with a second front moving in off
the Bering Sea on Friday.
