The warning, from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday, reflects warm, windy weather that could fuel the rapid ignition and spread of fires. The weather is expected to cool down on Monday and Tuesday.
A large portion of Southcentral Alaska — including Anchorage as well as Palmer and the Knik River valley in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough — were under a “red flag warning” through Sunday night, reflecting warm, dry and windy conditions that could fuel the rapid ignition and spread of fires., from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday, extended through the Copper River Basin and north of the eastern Alaska Range, according to the National Weather Service.
The winds will die down during the overnight hours, and the area will see an increase in cloud cover and lower temperatures on Monday and Tuesday, Baines said.
