FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHWEST ALASKA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
357 PM AKDT Tue Jun 18 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Isolated thunderstorms are occurring along the northern periphery
of the Middle Kuskokwim Valley this afternoon. Otherwise, expect
cloudy and moist conditions for the remainder of Southwest Alaska
through Wednesday as a weak front lingers along the coast. There
is some uncertainty with the areal coverage of isolated to
scattered thunderstorms for Thursday and Friday afternoon; the
areas most likely to see them are Middle Kuskokwim Valley and
Western Alaska Range, though thunderstorms may occur as far west
as Kuskokwim Delta.
