FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHWEST ALASKA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
353 AM AKDT Wed Jul 16 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Rain is moving into Southwest this morning as low pressure tracks
along the Alaska Peninsula. Widespread clouds and wetting rains
are forecast. Oddly enough, models hint at some clearing this
afternoon over interior Bristol Bay into the Kuskokwim Valley,
which coincides with some drier air and cooler temperatures aloft.
As a result, there may be some instability for isolated wet
thunderstorm development during the late afternoon and evening
hours, with the best chance for a storm near Iliamna. Cloudiness
and rain will linger into tomorrow with no thunderstorms expected
on Thursday.
