FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
400 PM AKDT Sat Jun 8 2024
.DISCUSSION...
A strong ridge continues to form over the Alaska interior,
providing warm and dry conditions that will last through early
tonight. Meanwhile, a strong storm in the gulf continues to
strengthen and will send a front northward towards Southcentral
this evening. This will result in widespread gusty winds,
especially in valleys, mountain passes, and the usual gaps like
Turnagain Arm, Knik River Valley, and Copper River Valley.
Additionally, rain will start to move in and spread into the Kenai
Peninsula. The stronger gusts will help keep temperatures
elevated while RH values will remain low.
Sunday and Monday will be calmer with slightly cooler
temperatures and higher RHs. Gap winds will continue through
Monday as multiple fronts front the low move over Southcentral,
but will be relatively light in comparison to tonight. An
increased chance for rain showers will also occur as the multiple
fronts move over the area.
