FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR INTERIOR ALASKA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
220 PM AKDT WED MAY 7 2025
DISCUSSION
VERY LITTLE CHANGE IN THE OVERALL PATTERN IS EXPECTED THROUGH
SATURDAY. LOW PRESSURE OVER THE ALASKA RANGE WILL SLOWLY WEAKEN AND AS THAT
HAPPENS, RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL DECREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY. WEAK
SHORTWAVES ROTATING FOR EAST TO WEST FROM A LOW IN THE GULF OF ALASKA BRING A
MODEST AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY EACH DAY WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE FAR
EASTERN INTERIOR. WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT AND VARIABLE AS RHS DRY AND
TEMPERATURES WARM THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S ARE
LIKELY SATURDAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH RHS DRYING TO NEAR CRITICAL LEVELS
AS TRANSIENT RIDGING BUILDS OVER THE AREA.
