.DISCUSSION...
Recent strong winds through Isabel Pass have since settled down in
response to a cold front that moved through the area earlier
today. As a result, fire weather concerns remain at a minimum as
wet conditions and limited fuel availability highlight most of the
region. The upper Tanana Valley remains the exception as drier
conditions will persist through the weekend and into early next
week. However fuel availability is limited and expected to remain
that way.
