Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Interior Alaska
National Weather Service Fairbanks AK
522 AM AKDT Tue May 14 2024

.DISCUSSION...The possibility of numerous showers with isolated
thunderstorms embeeded into them will continue today, with the
focus being on the thunderstorms being located from Northway
through Forty Mile Country and to Eagle Summit. Temperatures look
to increase tomorrow with highs in the low 60s in much of the
Eastern Interior and continuing through the weekend. Minimum RHs
are in the 20 to 35 percent range with recovery overnight of 60 to
75 percent. Starting late this evening we should expect southerly
gap flow through the Alaska Range with gusts up to 30 mph. These
winds will begin to weaken overnight Thursday.
