Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Alaska
National Weather Service Fairbanks AK
637 AM AKDT Thu Jun 27 2024

...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FOR FIRE WEATHER ZONES 913 AND
919...

.DISCUSSION....

Today may be the largest lightning day of the year so far as
scattered thunderstorms are expected to form along a boundary
between the Bering low and the Interior ridge extending from the
Western Brooks Range to Fairbanks to the Alcan Border. We`ve
already seen some thunderstorms move through Noatak Valley early
this morning with more expected later this afternoon lasting
through the night. Isolated PM thunderstorms will be possible NE
of Ambler for tomorrow and east of Shungnak on Friday. Red Flag
Conditions are expected today for the South Slopes of the Western
Brooks Range and Upper Kobuk Valleys diminishing tomorrow as winds
decrease and RH`s increase in the region.

Saturday will be hot and dry except for the chance of isolated
showers in the Lower Yukon Valley, the chance of isolated
thunderstorms will return Sunday afternoon for the west Interior.
