Cooler, wet weather for Alaska
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – Clouds and cooler temperatures will help Alaska and firefighters deal with fires that broke out during a hot, dry stretch of weather from last week. This week, more areas of Alaska will see clouds and rain move through.
Thunderstorms are still possible in the interior, where fire danger has been and remains high. The spate of fires are the result of both lightning and human-caused ignition.
Starting Tuesday over northern Alaska, cooler temperatures arrive with several rounds of rain. This is much-needed moisture. Much of the moisture will stay north of southcentral, until the coming weekend.
Southcentral will get a mostly dry 4th of July, with the wetter weather waiting for the first weekend of July.
Hot spot went Huslia, hitting 81 degrees. The cold spot was Barter Island with a temperature of 32 degrees.
