Buckland and south to McGrath this evening and tonight. Tomorrow
will be a bit quieter with isolated wet thunderstorms possible
from Ambler to Ruby east. Temperatures will be nearly the same as
today with minimum RHs largely in the low to mid 30s%. Eyes then
turn to Thursday when we have another active day of storms with
widely scattered wet storms from Ambler to Galena east.
