Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Interior Alaska
National Weather Service Fairbanks AK
403 AM AKDT Sat May 17 2025

.DISCUSSION...Warmer today with lighter winds but minimum RH still into
the 25 % range for the S Interior valleys. Showers and isolated
wet thunderstorms shift into the Lower Tanana Valley this afternoon
and evening, with showers shifting east Sun, along with cooler temps
and higher RH values. Isolated wet thunder on Sun is restricted to
the higher elevations east of FNSB, mainly from the Chena Rec Area to the
Fortymile Uplands/Yukon-Tanana Highlands. Increasing showers will result
in increasing chances for light wetting rains over the E Interior and
AK Range Mon and Tue, with a trend up for minimum RH above 40
% by Tue. Isolated wet thunder chances expand to the SE Interior and
E AK Range Sun.
