NWS Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 5:34 AM AKDT on May 30, 2009
...Record heat expected for the Panhandle next week...
A weather pattern similar to the record setting event of June 2004
is forecast to set up across the Panhandle through next week and
bring plenty of sunshine and temperatures 10 to 25 degrees above
average starting Monday and continuing through Friday.
High temperatures for inland areas are expected to soar into the
80s by mid week while high temperature for coastal communities are
expected in the upper 70s.
The warm temperatures combined with low humidity will increase the
risk of fires as fuels dry out.
In addition...the unusually warm air aloft will increase snow and
glacial melt. Rivers and streams fed by glaciers and mountain snow
will rise through the week.

NWS Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 4:15 PM AKDT on May 29, 2009
...Near record to record breaking warm temperatures in store
for Panhandle next week...
A weather pattern similar to the record breaking event of June
2004 will set up over the Panhandle next week bringing temperatures
10 to 15 degrees above average starting Monday and continuing
through Friday.
Inland areas are forecasted to reach high temperatures in the
upper 70s and low to mid 80s while coastal communities are
forecast to reach temperatures in the low 70s.
Mostly sunny skies combined with very low relative humidity values
will increase the risk of fires as fuel sources dry out through
the week. In addition very warm temperatures aloft will increase
snow melt in higher terrain and increase run off from glaciers.
Rivers fed by high mountain snow melt and Glacier run off will
rise through the week
