130 FNAK51 PAFC 271520 AAA FWFAER FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 720 AM AKDT Thu Jun 27 2024 .DISCUSSION...The main axis for thunderstorm activity will shift eastwards today and Friday with much of it confined to the northern half of the Copper River Basin; however, a few isolated storms cannot be ruled out near the Talkeetna Mountains into the far northern Susitna Valley. With little in the way of forcing, convection today will be diurnally driven with storms firing by mid-afternoon and dissipating through the evening hours. In addition to isolated to scattered storms, temperatures in the Copper River Valley will push into the upper 70s to near 80 degrees from near Chistochina down to McCarthy. Dewpoints will drop into the low to mid 40s resulting in minimum RH values of 25 to 35 percent. A pressure gradient over the Chugach Mountains will strengthen this afternoon and resulting in breezy southerly gap flow winds to develop this afternoon for the far southern basin.
