.DISCUSSION...
Wet weather will continue the Yukon Flats, White Mountains, and
northern Fortymile Country through Monday morning, with high
chances for wetting rains. The southern Fortymile and the Alaska
Highway southeast of Delta Junction will conversely remain mostly
dry and warm, although min RH values will remain relatively high.
Rain will shift north and west from Monday afternoon, gradually ending
rain chances in all but the western reaches of the Yukon Flats by
Tuesday afternoon. Most areas will warm into the upper 60s and
low 70s from Wednesday afternoon onward. South flow from Monday
afternoon through midweek will yield windy conditions across parts
of the area, with the highest winds through Windy Pass and into
Delta Junction and over the higher terrain of the White Mountains.
