.DISCUSSION...
A front and its associated low are bringing strong winds and high
chances of wetting rain to the area. This morning rain is
expected from the Nulato hills north. Rain will move south this
afternoon and evening providing overnight wetting rain to the
lower Yukon. Temperatures continue to fall, with most areas only
making it into the 50s and 60s today and mostly just the 50s on
Thursday. Minimum RH values will rise well above critical
thresholds. Increased southwesterly winds will continue through
today before weakening and becoming more southerly on Thursday.
