...GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS THROUGH TONIGHT...

As rainfall moves east out of the Central Interior and Fairbanks
North Star Borough, drier air will continue to bring gusty winds.
Gusty west-southwest in the 25 to 35 mph range are expected to
continue through tonight. Early this morning, deeper valleys may
see lighter winds, but occasional gusts in the 25 to 35 mph range
will still be possible. Winds will weaken this evening and
overnight into Sunday.
