535 AM AKDT THU JUN 4 2026
FORECAST IS BASED ON FORECAST START TIME OF 0800 AKDT ON JUNE 04.
DISCUSSION
IT WILL BE ANOTHER HOT AND DRY TODAY OVER THE FIRE AREA. WINDS ARE
THE BIG WILD CARD AS THERE WILL BE INCREASING NORTHEASTERLY WINDS
LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. THESE WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO
BE TERRIBLY STRONG, BUT A FEW HIGHER GUSTS ARE CERTAINLY POSSIBLE
MAKING THE STRENGTH OF THE WIND GUSTS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
THE BIGGEST UNCERTAINTY IN THE FORECAST.
FRIDAY, THE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SHIFT TO THE SOUTH AND USHER IN A
LITTLE MORE MOIST AIR WHICH WILL HELP TO LOWER TEMPERATURES SOME AS
WELL AS INCREASE RH VALUES.
THIS WEEKEND WILL SEE MORE SEASONAL TEMPERATURES WITH INCREASED CLOUD
COVER AND SHOWER ACTIVITY. SUNDAY LOOKS TO BE THE DAY WITH THE BEST
CHANCE FOR WETTING RAIN.
