FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
405 AM AKDT Tue Jun 25 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will be
primarily focused over the Copper River Basin, Talkeetna
Mountains, and the northern Susitna Valley and along the
foothills of the Alaska later this afternoon...with a similar
set-up Wednesday. The exception will be an increase in
scattered showers along the southern Kenai up towards the
Susitna Valley through mid to late morning as an upper-level
disturbance moves through. Onshore flow will increase along
the Cook Inlet and up towards the Mat-Su Valley resulting in
slightly cooler temperatures and an increase in humidity
values.
