.DISCUSSION...
The drying trend that set in Wednesday will continue today and
into the foreseeable future as a series of west coast storms push
into the northern parts of Alaska while bypassing much of the
Upper Tanana Valley. Clouds will increase a bit over the weekend
but chances for wetting precip will remain almost non-existent
until early next week when the storm track shifts a bit more to
the south and a stronger system noses into the area. Winds look to
remain generally light and out of the southwest for the next
several days.
