FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHWEST ALASKA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
432 AM AKDT FRI MAY 29 2026
DISCUSSION
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS REMAIN LOW AT THIS TIME. SCATTERED RAIN
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED STORMS WILL PERSIST INTO
LATE THIS EVENING AS WAVES OF MOISTURE MOVE OVER THE REGION. A
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA SLOWLY THROUGH THE
WEEKEND, LEADING TO INCREASED SURFACE HEATING. THIS WILL RESULT IN
AN INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE, CUMULUS CLOUD BUILDUPS AND,
COUPLED WITH MORE ROBUST SHORTWAVES PASSING THROUGH THE REGION,
ALLOW FOR WIDESPREAD SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS
ALONG THE ALASKA RANGE FROM THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY SOUTH TO THE
BRISTOL BAY COASTLINE TOMORROW AND SATURDAY.
