Special Weather Statement issued May 26 at 4:35AM AKDT by NWS Fairbanks AK

More thunderstorms are expected today, but they will be
potentially stronger and more widespread than Sunday, with
additional instability. This means storms may produce locally
heavy downpours with frequent lightning and small hail. Winds
aloft will be from the east- northeast, so storms will likely form
over the higher elevations of the White Mtns, Yukon-Tanana
Uplands, and the Upper Chena Basin then drift southwest into
lower elevation valleys. As they fall apart, also expect the
potential for brief strong and gusty, erratic winds.

In addition, locally heavy rain amounts are possible over the
Western and Central AK Range with a northeast steering wind
pushing storms into the AK Range slopes. Streams in steep terrain
may see very rapid rises.

Recreators should be alert for areas of heavy rainfall, lightning,
and for rapidly rising creeks and streams.
