.DISCUSSION...This afternoon, the Tok area has been gusty up to
around 25 mph with relative humidity values between 30 & 35%. The
gusty winds currently being observed should subside to around 15
mph through the evening hours as the pressure gradient loosens up
over the area through tonight. As the area continues to be rain-
shadowed from the overall flow coming in from the direction of the
Alaska Range, the chances for wetting rain stay away from the
area through the majority of the work-week with up to scattered
showers & isolated thunderstorms moving into the area starting
Friday. Even then, chances for wetting rain remain very low. Winds
continue to diminish, becoming light starting from Wednesday
night through the weekend. High temperatures should range from
around the middle 60s to around 70 through the forecast period.
Minimum relative humidity values increase from around 30% on
Wednesday into the 40s% by Friday into the weekend.
