SPOT FORECAST FOR SRD RX 10-30...USFS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
653 AM AKDT THU OCT 30 2025
FORECAST IS BASED ON IGNITION TIME OF 1000 AKDT ON OCTOBER 30.
DISCUSSION
GENERALLY WET AND BREEZY AS YESTERDAY'S STORM IS QUICKLY FOLLOWED
BY ANOTHER STORM MOVING IN LATER TODAY. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS LINGER
IN THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE MORNING, THOUGH THERE MAY BE
ABOUT A 3-6 HOUR PERIOD OF LOWER PRECIPITATION CHANCES EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON BETWEEN STORMS. BY 7 PM THIS EVENING, THE NEXT STORM'S
FRONT WILL BRING MODERATE TO HEAVY PRECIPITATION. WITH
TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S, SNOW MAY MIX WITH RAIN AT
TIMES BUT ACCUMULATION IS UNLIKELY DUE TO WARMING TEMPERATURES
ALOFT AND WET GROUND CONDITIONS. BASED ON THE TRACK OF STORMS
IN THE GULF, CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN WET
AND BREEZY THROUGH THE END OF THE WORKWEEK.
