.DISCUSSION...
MODERATELY BRISK SOUTH WIND FLOW ALOFT OVER THE FIRE WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THURSDAY. THERE WILL BE A BRIEF REMISSION THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING AS AN INCOMING WEATHER FRONT BRINGS UP HUMIDITY
SOME...AND MAKES POSSIBLE SOME SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
THE DRY SOUTH WINDS ALOFT WILL DIMINISH AND BECOME MORE SOUTHEASTERLY
ON FRIDAY...AND SO CONTINUE THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. FOR THE MOST
PART...THIS PATTERN WILL PROVIDE LESS DRYING OF THE INCOMING AIR MASS
DURING ITS PASSAGE OVER THE ALASKA RANGE TO THE FIRE. THIS WILL
PROVIDE SOMEWHAT HIGHER HUMIDITY AND A CHANCE OF SOME LIGHT RAIN.
THE SHOWERS WHICH ARE POSSIBLE IN THE NEXT 5 DAYS ARE EXPECTED
TO BE LIGHT.
