.DISCUSSION...
Ridging and southerly flow will continue through today in the far
eastern Interior. This will keep skies mostly clear and
temperatures will warm to near 80 degrees. We will see showers
move into the Tanana Valley by tonight, and then into the Upper
Tanana Valley tomorrow morning. We can see wetting rains in the
Tanana Valley, but not in Fortymile Country and the Upper Tanana
Valley. Clouds and an approaching arctic airmass will cool
temperatures into the upper 50s to low 60s tomorrow.
