.DISCUSSION...
Dry conditions with above-normal temperatures will be in
store for Southcentral the next two days. Winds will remain
generally light with seabreezes developing. Some Turnagain
Arm winds may move over Anchorage late Friday afternoon and
evening but they would bring a slight cooling along with a
little more moisture air as well so still expecting to remain
below critical fire weather conditions.
