Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fairbanks AK
545 AM AKDT Mon Jul 13 2026

.SYNOPSIS...
Upper-level troughing will be our main weather-maker, causing wet
and cool conditions for the beginning of this week. Shortwave
energy circulating around the trough will cause daily showers for
northern Alaska, especially the West Coast, Western Interior, and
higher elevations. Southerly flow will cause strong gap winds
through the Alaska and Brooks Range. Thunderstorms will be
possible in the Tanana Valley, Arctic Plains, and eastern Brooks
Range today, with a higher chance of thunderstorms in the Interior
on Wednesday. Generally, cooler and wetter conditions south of
the Brooks Range are expected through the beginning of the week
with areas north of the Brooks Range expected to be near normal
with isolated rain showers.

&&

.KEY WEATHER MESSAGES...

Central and Eastern Interior...
- Rain showers move through the Interior periodically, but
  there'll be more dry than wet time. Highest shower chance is
  north/west of Fairbanks each afternoon. A stronger front may
  bring more widespread showers on Wednesday.

- An isolated storm in the Tanana Valley is possible on Monday
  but there is a greater chance on Wednesday.

- Breezy in the AK Range Passes through Monday. Strong gap winds
  will likely increase from Tuesday into Wednesday with gusts up
  to 70 mph in Isabel Pass, and 60 mph in Windy Pass. A High Wind
  Watch has been issued for Isabel Pass during this time.

- Seasonably cool weather is expected through Tuesday with highs
  in the 60s and low 70s, warmest towards the AlCan Border.

West Coast and Western Interior...
- Widespread rain most likely through the morning before a slight
  break Monday night into Tuesday. Widespread rain moves to the
  Kuskokwim/Middle Yukon Valley beginning Tuesday morning. Steady
  rain has the potential to spread north of the Yukon River
  Tuesday night into Wednesday.

- Rainfall totals through Wednesday = 0.50" to 1.00" with higher
  terrain around 1.50" possible.

- Expect temperatures in the 50s and low 60s through the week.

North Slope and Brooks Range..
- Areas of stratus and fog continue along the coast this morning.

- More widespread rain arrives in the Brooks Range Monday morning,
  then lifts to the North Slope Monday afternoon with chinook flow
  likely thereafter.

- Southerly wind gusts up to 40 mph in the Brooks Range possible
  Monday afternoon and evening, then 20 to 30 mph on Tuesday.

- Temperatures remain mild in the Plains, up to 70 through Tuesday
  with 40s/50s along the coast and 50s/60s in the Brooks Range.

&&

.FORECAST ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION...
Upper-level, longwave troughing extending from Alaska westward to
Russia will be our main weather driver for the next few days. This
troughing will be slow moving, allowing multiple rounds of
shortwave energy to circulate around this trough and move over
Alaska. This energy will bring southerly flow to the Interior and
North Slope, causing gusty winds through the Alaska and Brooks
Range, prompting wind hazards to be issued. A High Wind Watch is
out for Isabel Pass Tuesday morning through Wednesday morning for
southerly wind gusts as high as 70 mph. Though Windy Pass is
currently hazard-less, they too may be gusting as high as 60 mph.
The Brooks Range passes will also see southerly wind gusts as
high as 40 mph possible, prompting a Wind Advisory to be issued
from 10 AM this morning through 7 AM Tuesday morning. Winds along
the West Coast may cause high water along the southern Seward
Peninsula, Norton Sound, and YK Delta. See the Coastal Hazard
Potential section below for more details. As this troughing
travels eastward, this southerly flow will weaken beginning as
early as Wednesday evening into Thursday morning.

With all the additional shortwave energy circulating around the
trough, chances of daily showers will be possible for northern
Alaska through at least mid-week. No one particular day seems
like a washout but the highest rainfall totals are expected in the
West Coast and Western Interior where 0.50-1.00" are possible
through Wednesday with locally higher amounts as high as 1.50" at
higher elevations. The central and eastern Interior will likely
remain more dry than wet due to the chinook flow, but could see as
high as 0.25" through Wednesday. Since the Interior may remain
more dry, the sun may peek through the clouds causing diurnal
heating that may lead to the potential of thunderstorms in the
Tanan Valley today, though a greater chance of storms will likely
be on Wednesday. Due to the strong southerly winds and relatively
dry conditions, Red Flag concerns are possible near Delta Junction
early this week. We will be coordinating with AFS on this
decision. Finally, the North Slope too will likely remain mostly
dry except on the southern slopes of the western and central
Brooks Range and the eastern Brooks Range where 0.50-1.00" are
possible. Thunderstorms in the Arctic Plains and eastern Brooks
Range will also be possible today. Due to all these showers across
the state and the general upper-level troughing, temperatures are
expected to remain moderated across the state for most of the
week, with highs in the 50s and 60s for the West Coast and North
Slope and the 60s and isolated 70 across the Interior.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
The areas to focus on for fire weather remain the Eastern Brooks
Range and Yukon Flats...down into the upper Tanana valley. Those
regions will continue to stay dry into the middle of the week even
as temperatures cool down due to some cloud cover. Westerly winds 10
to 20 mph with some higher gusts will continue to occur in the Yukon
Flats and surrounding terrain on Monday. We will also see an
increase in southerly gap winds through the Alaska Range passes into
areas near Healy and Delta Junction on Tuesday. Southerly winds
could gust as high as 50 to 70 mph in Isabel and Windy pass. If
fuels are able to dry sufficiently by Tuesday those areas in the
Tanana valley could see new starts grow rapidly.

Otherwise a broad open trough over the West Coast of Alaska will
continue to rotate multiple upper level disturbances up in a south-
southwest flow aloft. With this weather pattern bands of clouds...
wetting rains...and high humidities will continue to spread up over
the West Coast and the Western Interior. By Wednesday this
widespread rainfall and cooler air begins to spread up over the
Central Interior and the Brooks Range. Wetting rains will aid fire
suppression efforts in those areas in the coming days. Thursday into
Saturday the showers and cooler temperatures are expected to spread
into the Eastern Interior all the way to the Canadian border.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...None

&&

.EXTENDED FORECAST DAYS 4-7...Thursday through Sunday
Broadscale troughing over the Bering Sea is expected to continue
this week into Saturday. Disturbances rotate up into the Alaska
Range...over the Interior...and up into the Brooks Range in a south-
southwest flow aloft. Bands of clouds and rain will continue to move
up over northern Alaska for unseasonably cool and wet weather.
Thunderstorms and lightning will be minimal during this time.

For next Sunday into the following week there is some agreement in
the Ensembles for a strong ridge to begin to build over western
Canada up into eastern Alaska. The ECMWF is the strongest with this
ridging attm. The pattern backs the semi-persistent low over the
western Bering Sea but energy and moisture look limited to southwest
Alaska and the West Coast. This should mean a warming and drying
trend for most of the Interior with afternoon thunderstorms popping
up over the mountains. A return of widespread summer heat with
temperatures peaking in the mid 80s could occur early next week.
Hopefully it does not signal an influx of wildfire smoke from
Canada.

Coastal Hazard Potential...
A Special Weather Statement remains in place for the Southern
Seward Peninsula, Eastern Norton Sound and Yukon Delta Coast for
minor water level rises from Sunday to Tuesday.

Weak south to southwesterly wind will result in minor sea level
rises. Expect rises of 1 to 3 feet above the normal high tide line
with each high tide cycle from today through Tuesday. Winds will
be largely 10 to 20 mph through Monday, then weaken and shift
northerly on Tuesday.

The highest water levels, up to 3 feet above the high tide line,
are expected in Eastern Norton Sound while the Yukon Delta and
Nome Coast are expected to be around 1 to 2 feet.

Significant impacts are not expected but those with belongings on
the beach may want to bring them further away from the water as a
precaution.
