...Unseasonable Warmth Through This Weekend...

The warmest stretch of weather so far this summer is expected from
Wednesday through the weekend. High temperatures warming into the
upper 70s or lower 80s each day with lows dipping into the 50s are
expected. Areas of wildfire smoke across the middle Tanana Valley
are already reducing air quality. Light winds are unlikely to
clear out the smoke.

Drinking plenty of fluids, avoiding strenuous outdoor activity,
and limiting exposure to smoke is recommended.
