FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
442 AM AKDT Tue Jun 18 2024
.DISCUSSION...The convective potential today looks to be mainly
relegated to the Copper River Basin. All thunderstorms are expected
to be wet and should develop should be over elevated terrain. The
front approaching Kodiak Island and the push of moist marine air
up Cook Inlet will be stabilizing forces for the atmosphere. Tomorrow
looks very similar today overall except the unstable air will be
farther north with thunderstorm potential only in the far north
Copper Basin.
