A thermal low pressure trough that extends from Northway to Anaktuvuk Pass will move to Northway to Arctic Village this afternoon and remain there through Wednesday, before spreading slowly west on Thursday. This trough combined with a warm and unstable airmass will cause isolated thunderstorms to continue over the Eastern Interior through Thursday. Areas south of Ft Yukon can expect scattered thunderstorms with gusty winds, hail, and frequent lightning in the afternoon and evening today and Wednesday. Expect 3000-5000 lightning strokes today with most of them from Ft Yukon south to the Alaska Range. Wednesday should see similar conditions.

What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this red flag warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Fairbanks, AK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this red flag warning went out at Jul 2, 6:48 AM AKDT, 7 hours 52 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 2, 6:48 AM AKDT, 7 hours 52 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 648 AM AKDT Sat Jul 2 2022 .SYNOPSIS... Hot, dry and smokey conditions over the Interior and North Slope will persist into Mon with isolated to scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon/evenings. Moisture will increase from the south over the next several days and cause thunderstorms to increase in number and expand to the north and west through Sunday, and remain over most of the Interior and North Slope Sunday into Mon. Expect 2000-3000 lightning strokes today, and 5000-10,000 strokes Sun and Mon. The greatest density of thunderstorms and lightning will be between Northway to Bettles today, and from Eagle to Tanana to Anaktuvuk Pass on Sun and Mon. This areas will likely see gusty winds and small hail as well. Thunderstorms will be mainly dry today, with 15-40% chance of rain hitting the ground on Sun and Mon. The West Coast will be wet and warm with areas of fog today, then slightly drier Sun and Mon. Winds will be generally from the south 5-15 mph. The Arctic Coast will have period of fog from Utqiagvik east through Mon. The Eastern Interior and Eastern North Slope will remain hot through late next week with isolated to scattered thunderstorms, while the West Coast, Western North Slope, and far Western Interior become wetter and cool to near normal next week. Aloft... The long wave pattern consists of a strong ridge over NW Canada and Eastern Alaska and a deep trough over the Bering Sea. This pattern persists into early next week, then becomes progressive from the middle to end of next week with the trough moving over Western Alaska by late next week. Several weak short waves are moving their way around the ridge. On short wave now lies over the Eastern Interior and will move NW today. This has kept some thunderstorms going through the night into this morning. A second trough will move north over the SE Interior on Sun and cause more enhancement of the thunderstorms. Surface... A 1002 mb low 200 NM southwest of Wrangel Island will move to 100 NM west of Wrangel Island as a 1008 mb low by 4am Sun, and to 300 NM north of Wrangel Is as a 1010 mb low by 4am Mon. A weather front that lies from this low to along the West Coast of Alaska will slowly weaken through Mon. This is causing rain and fog with south winds 5 to 15 mph along the West Coast. The rain will taper off through Sun as the front weakens. This will also add additional moisture into the Interior Sun and Mon. A thermal low pressure trough from Northway to Bettles to Wainwright will remain in place through Sun, and move to Eagle to Wainwright on Mon. This will be the focus for thunderstorms. && .DISCUSSION... At 00Z, models all initialize 20 to 30 meters too low on the 500 MB high over the Northern Yukon and NW Territory. Otherwise models initialize well aloft. Models show similar solutions aloft through Mon, with differences with short wave strength and location developing Tue, with differences increasing through next week. Will use a blend of models for features aloft including temperatures and clouds. Model precipitation locations and amounts are relatively similar with the areal coverage and amounts of the Interior increasing through Sun, while the West Coast decreases through Sun. Will see the West Coast have increasing pops on Mon. Will use a blend of models for precip areal coverage and amounts through Mon. For convection, NAM and GFS models indicate isolated to scattered thunderstorms over the Interior and North Slope north and east of Ruby today, with the scattered area along a Northway to Bettles line. For Sun, expect isolated to scattered thunderstorms north and east of Anvik with the scattered thunderstorms from Anaktuvuk to Tanana to Eagle. Sun should see significantly more lightning than Sat. Mon should be similar to Sun for Thunderstorms. At the surface at 06z, models verify well. Models show similar solutions through Mon. Will use a blend of model solutions for surface features and winds through Mon. Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...None. && .FIRE WEATHER... Hot, dry and smokey conditions over the Interior will persist into Mon with isolated to scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon/evenings. Moisture will increase from the south over the next several days and cause thunderstorms to increase in number and expand to the north and west through Sunday, and remain over most of the Interior and North Slope Sunday into Mon. Expect 2000-3000 lightning strokes today, and 5000-10,000 strokes Sun and Mon. The greatest density of thunderstorms and lightning will be between Northway to Bettles today, and from Eagle to Tanana to Anaktuvuk Pass on Sun and Mon. Thunderstorms will be mainly dry today, with 15-40% chance of rain hitting the ground on Sun and Mon. Will likely extend the Red Flag Warning for lightning into Sun and possibly Mon for the same area and extend it into zone 218 as well. RH Min will be in the 20-30 percent range across the Eastern Interior today, while the Western Interior is 30-45%. Min RH will increase slightly Sun and Mon. && .HYDROLOGY... Glacial rivers draining the Alaska Range such as the Tanana, Chisana and Nabesna Rivers will run high and near bankfull due to the high freezing levels for the next week. On the North Slope, Judy and Fish Creek west of Nuiqsut have an increased risk of flooding, and see the current Special Weather Statement for full details. No other hydro concerns other than the possibility of very small scale localized flooding under thunderstorms Sun and Mon. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Red Flag Warning for AKZ219-AKZ220-AKZ221-AKZ222-AKZ223-AKZ224- AKZ226. Dense Smoke Advisory for AKZ207-AKZ209-AKZ210-AKZ211-AKZ212- AKZ215-AKZ216-AKZ221-AKZ222-AKZ227. && JB JUL 22

A lake 23 miles west of Nuiqsut is expected to drain rapidly into Judy Creek and Fish Creek sometime in the next two weeks, impacting camps downstream. Water levels are expect to rise 2 to 6 feet over a 12 to 24 hour period once it releases. The lake is 31 river miles upstream from the Fish Creek and Ublutoch River confluence.
