.DISCUSSION...
FAA web camera in Tok showed some showers in the direction of this
fire last evening. It is unclear if any light rain occurred. This spot
assumes there was no rain. The isolated showers and thunderstorms
yesterday were in the northeast flow around a high pressure ridge.
This ridge moves over this fire today and then east of it on Monday.
That will result in more warm and dry conditions today with relatively
light terrain driven winds. Monday the wind flow over this higher
terrain turns more southwesterly. That should enhance the upslope
winds on this aspect. There is a slight chance for thunderstorms
again this afternoon but a better chance Monday afternoon and night.
Wetting rains are possible only if a storm moves directly over this
fire.
