Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Interior Alaska
National Weather Service Fairbanks AK
1236 PM AKDT Sun May 5 2024

.DISCUSSION...A series of upper level bands of energy will be
going over the Alaskan Range and ejecting over the Upper Tanana
Valley over the next few days. This will bring scattered showers
throughout the valley with the highest chances at Delta Junction,
Tok, the Eielson Testing Grounds, and the White Mountains. We
could see accumulations as high as 1/2". The RH will drop to
around 35 to 45% with significant recovery overnight to a range of
70 to 85%. Starting tonight the eastern interior will see a wind
shift to out of the Northeast with gusts up to 20 to 25 mph.
These winds should last through most of Monday but begin to weaken
as we go into the overnight hours of Monday. Outside of the Upper
Tanana Valley the interior should see isolated snow showers
Monday afternoon to Tuesday morning. Accumulations look to be less
than 1".
