SPOT FORECAST FOR SAR EKLUTNA TWIN PEAKS...EKLUTNA FIRE AND RESCUE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
906 AM AKDT SAT SEP 12 2026
FORECAST IS BASED ON FORECAST START TIME OF 0900 AKDT ON SEPTEMBER 12.
DISCUSSION
LOW CLOUDS, FOG, AND DRIZZLE WILL SLOWLY IMPROVE AS THE DAY GOES ON. THE BIGGEST
QUESTION IS WHETHER THE SOUTHWEST LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL KEEP CLOUDS PACKED UP
ALONG TWIN PEAKS AND THE OTHER NEARBY MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON (KEEPING THE
CEILINGS LIMITED), OR WHETHER IT WILL DRY OUT ENOUGH TO LIFT CEILINGS ABOVE MOUNTAIN
TOP LEVELS. THE DRIZZLE SHOULD END BY LATE MORNING AND VISIBILITIES ARE MORE LIKELY
TO IMPROVE TO VFR LEVELS THAN THE CEILINGS ARE. ENOUGH DRYING SHOULD OCCUR BY
LATE THIS AFTERNOON FOR BOTH CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES TO IMPROVE TO GOOD VFR LEVELS.
THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR FOG TO DEVELOP IN THE VALLEYS OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING,
BUT THE MOUNTAINS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN CLEAR ABOVE THE FOG.
