FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
341 PM AKDT Tue May 6 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Chances for wetting thunderstorms continue today on the west
slopes of mountain ranges in the forecast zones, especially in the
Mat-Su Valleys. An upper low from the north brings chances for
widespread light rain for the Susitna Valley and the Copper River
Basin on Monday. The other areas will have increased cloud cover
and Min RH values. Some drying occurs on Thursday, allowing for
skies to clear out somewhat. Convective showers are again
possible on the west slopes of mountains on Thursday and Friday,
but with lower chances for lightning. Wind speeds will generally
be light and variable, except for gap regions, which could have
gusty winds out of the southeast each afternoon until Thursday.
