FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
740 AM AKDT Wed Jun 26 2024
.DISCUSSION...The potential continues for afternoon thunderstorm
development along the slopes of the Talkeetna Mountains, the
Alaska Range, and the Wrangells; as well as across the northern
Susitna Valley and much of the Copper River Basin today.
Thunderstorms will be isolated to scattered in nature, producing
brief downpours during their mature phase as they move off to the
north and northeast. Thursday will again see afternoon
thunderstorm development but the best chances will shift over to
the Copper River Basin and Wrangells. With high pressure in place
over much of Southcentral, winds will remain light with the
exception of some gusty winds near storms.
