Satellites can help with the detection of lightning, providing valuable information to meteorologists about storms, especially in areas with limited radar coverage and observations. #akwx #lightning

The VIIRS polar satellite has given us a good image of the current fires around Fairbanks. We have the McDonald fire still going strong as well as the Clear fire to it's immediate northwest. There is a complex of fires to the west of Wickersham dome approaching 2000 acres. #akwx

We are looking to have another active day with thunderstorms tomorrow. We have issued Red Flag Warnings for much of the Eastern/Northern Interior. These Red Flags coincide with the driest wildfire fuels. We could see numerous fire starts from these thunderstorms tomorrow. #akwx

Smoke is moving into the Fairbanks area this morning and it will be locally dense. It will clear out this afternoon as winds shift and come out of the west. This will unfortunately keep smoke east towards Eielson, Salcha, Harding Lake and points east. #akwx #wildfire #smoke

Here's a radar loop showing storms forming over elevated terrain and moving southwest. We've gotten several reports of thunderstorms already and have heard thunder from our office in Fairbanks. Brief heavy rain, small hail, and gusty winds are possible. #akwx #radar

The summer solstice occurs at 12:50pm Alaska time today. Today is the longest day of the year. This is the earliest summer solstice in 228 years! The variation from year to year is due to the difference in the calendar year and the average astronomical year. #akwx
