FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHWEST ALASKA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
314 PM AKDT FRI MAY 9 2025
DISCUSSION
A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL CROSS BRISTOL
BAY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WHILE AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER
NORTHWEST AK BUILDS SOUTH OVER INTERIOR SOUTHWEST. AT MOST, EXPECT
ISOLATED SHOWERS ACROSS THESE AREAS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING.
CONDITIONS LOOK TO STABLE ALOFT FOR THUNDERSTORMS, SO HAVE REMOVED
THEM FROM THE FORECAST. THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL HOLD IN THROUGH
SATURDAY, LEADING TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND WARMER AND DRIER
CONDITIONS. A STRONG STORM SYSTEM TRACKING INTO THE BERING SEA ON
SUNDAY WILL SEND A FRONT TOWARD THE SOUTHWEST COAST LATE SUNDAY.
THIS WILL BRING RAIN AND WINDS TO THE COAST BY SUNDAY EVENING,
SPREADING INLAND SUNDAY NIGHT. FOR INTERIOR SOUTHWEST, SUNDAY WILL
START OUT WARM AND DRY, WITH INCREASING CLOUDS FOR THE SECOND
HALF OF THE DAY.
