124 FNAK51 PAFC 031415 FWFAER Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southcentral Alaska National Weather Service Anchorage AK 615 AM AKDT Sat Aug 3 2019 .DISCUSSION... The upper level ridge will continue to flatten across Southcentral today. This will allow the moist southwesterly flow, associated with a frontal band, to spread clouds and rain/showers further south. Generally will be looking at rain over the northern Susitna Valley and Talkeetna Mountains through today with showers or chances of rain elsewhere from Anchorage North. Also, stability indices and upslope flow over the eastern Copper River Basin would support isolated wet thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. The upper ridge amplifies some on Sunday and should push the frontal band north and lessen rain to the northern Valleys, but still keep some shower potential around. Temperatures overall will remain on the warm side through the weekend. Lee side troughing across the Cook Inlet to Susitna Valley will continue brisk southerly winds over the western Kenai Peninsula through Sunday. The squeeze in pressure between the Gulf high and interior low pressure will produce gusty south winds across the Copper River Basin this afternoon through early evening. Temperatures in the mid to upper 70s and gusty south winds are expected over the Copper River Basin this afternoon through early evening. However, high dewpoints should keep minimum RH values in the 30s and above critical fire weather thresholds.
