DISCUSSION
THE FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK THIS MORNING. A COLD FRONT
CURRENTLY SPANNING FROM HEALY TO FAIRBANKS TO CIRCLE IS MOVING
SOUTH, BRINGING LIGHT SHOWERS ALONG WITH IT. IT SHOULD REACH THE
FIRE BETWEEN 10AM AND NOON WEDNESDAY, ALTHOUGH THE AMOUNT OF RAIN
COMING ALONG WITH IT BY THE TIME IT REACHES TOK LOOKS TO BE A FEW
HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH AT BEST. WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT UNTIL THE
FRONT GETS THERE, BUT AFTER IT PASSES NORTHWESTERLY WINDS GUSTING
UPWARDS TO 25 TO 30 MPH WILL BLOW THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY FALL INTO THE 20S AGAIN AS THE
COLD AIR BEHIND THE FRONT SITS OVER THE INTERIOR. THURSDAY LOOKS
LIKE THE DRIEST DAY, RHS AROUND 35%, AS TEMPERATURES BEGIN TO RISE
INTO THE UPPER 50S, BUT MOISTURE HAS NOT REACHED THE AREA YET.
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO CLIMB FRIDAY, REACHING THE UPPER
60S, BUT RH WILL LIKELY BE MODERATE AROUND 40 TO 45% DUE TO THE
ARRIVAL OF A WETTER AIR MASS. ALTHOUGH, IT DOESN'T APPEAR WET
ENOUGH TO PROVIDE MEANINGFUL RAIN.
