043 FNAK52 PAFC 191546 AAA FWFALU FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHWEST ALASKA...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 746 AM AKDT Wed Jun 19 2024 .DISCUSSION...A series of weak upper level disturbances will cross Southwest Alaska today. Cooler and more stable air from Bristol Bay to the Kuskokwim Delta will lead to areas of light rain. Further inland, marginally more unstable conditions and some sunshine this morning will lead to isolated to scattered convection this afternoon and evening from the Western Alaska Range into the Kuskokwim Valley. The thermal trough will strengthen across the Kuskokwim Valley Thursday ahead of a more significant upper level disturbance rotating from the Gulf of Alaska toward southern Alaska. This will lead to an uptick in convection inland and marginally warmer/drier conditions across all of Southwest Alaska.
