FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHWEST ALASKA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
405 AM AKDT Tue May 7 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Unsettled conditions, with mostly cloudy skies and scattered to
widespread mixed rain/snow showers will persist from the Nushagak
Hills and Kuskokwim Mountains north across the Middle Kuskokwim
Valley through mid-week. This is due to a frontal boundary that
will stall over interior Southwest Alaska. Northerly winds and
low stratus will continue across the Kuskokwim Delta west of
Bethel behind the front as colder air works into the region.
