.DISCUSSION...
Cooler conditions are expected at the fire site, with highs
falling into the upper 60s and min RH values in the upper 40s and
lower 50s. Scattered showers will be possible through Tuesday
afternoon, with a slight chance for wetting rains. Widely
scatteredthunderstorms will also be possible tonight, posing a
chance for brief gusty winds and heavy rain. As of the issuance of
this forecast, there was an area of thunderstorms well to the
southwest of the fire, with an estimated arrival time of around
2000 to 2100 AKDT, should it manage to remain mostly intact. The
current heading would have it clip the western edge of the fire
area, although it could still produce gusty outflows without
moving directly overhead. Thunderstorms do not appear likely after
tonight, but southwest winds will generally blow as high as 20 mph
at the lower levels through the next couple days, especially
during the daytime periods, when ridgetop winds could gust down to
the lower levels. Lighter winds are expected Thursday.
