412 AM AKDT Wed May 8 2024
.DISCUSSION...A series of disturbances lifting northwest across
the Interior through the end of the work will continue to support
showers each day. Minimum RH values will drop to 20 to 25 percent
this afternoon from Healy to Fairbanks and east to near Delta
Junction. Lower RH values also expected today near Eagle and the
Upper Tanana Valley. On Thursday minimum RH values of 20 to 25
percent will be confined from Donnelly Dome to Eielson to near Dot
Lake. Southerly gap flow in the Alaska Range increases tonight,
over the eastern Alaska Range wind gusts to 60 mph are expected
through early Thursday morning. Winds will diminish through the day
Thursday. At this time it looks like the strongest winds will be
tonight and early Thursday morning and not during the driest part of
the day,so not anticipating Red Flag conditions at this time.
However, near Red Flag conditions from Delta Junction to Donnelly
Dome are possible early Thursday afternoon.
