FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR INTERIOR ALASKA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
213 PM AKDT THU MAY 8 2025
DISCUSSION.
A LOW PRESSURE GRADUALLY WEAKENS OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA THROUGH
SATURDAY. A FEW DIURNAL SHOWERS AND AN EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORM OR
TWO WILL BE POSSIBLE EACH AFTERNOON/EVENING IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN
NEAR THE ALCAN BORDER. LIGHT WINDS GENERALLY FROM THE WNW ARE
EXPECTED THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. RIDGING BUILDS OVER THE GULF OF
ALASKA BY SUNDAY AND WITH TROUGHING ACROSS THE YUKON FLATS GUSTY
W TO WSW FLOW UP THE TANANA VALLEY IS EXPECTED BY THE AFTERNOON.
MIN RH VALUES DECREASE EACH DAY THROUGH SUNDAY WHEN THE TANANA
VALLEY MIXES TO AROUND 20%. A DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE
BERING SEA SHOULD RESULT IN A WIND SHIFT TO ENE AND PERHAPS
CLOUD COVER ON MONDAY THAT MAY INHIBIT MIXING, BUT TIMING OF THIS
TRANSITION IS LOW CONFIDENCE.
