Taiya Inlet and Klondike Highway-
including...Skagway
Juneau Borough and northern Admiralty Island-
including...Juneau
120 pm ADT Sun May 1, 2005
...Red Flag Warning had ended due to diminishing
winds for the
Skagway and Juneau zones...
Fire weather zones included in this cancellation
are:
018-025
Discussion...Although relative humidities
this afternoon are
still in the mid 20s in the Juneau and Skagway
areas...The
weakening pressure gradient has caused the
northeast winds to
diminish below red flag criteria.
Northeast winds currently between 10 and
20 mph will continue to
slowly diminish through afternoon and evening.
As the offshore
flow diminishes more moisture will filter
into the northern
Panhandle allowing relative humidities to
climb slowly later this
afternoon and then more rapidly through the
night. Light rain may
spread to the northern Panhandle late tonight
or Monday but any
accumulations will be quite small. Winds
will become light and
variable on Monday...Remaining less than
10 mph through Tuesday.
