Iniakuk Lake Fire and Weather, Brooks Range, Alaska

Barometer 29.9, temperature 50 degrees. Ceiling 5000' patchy clouds, visibility 5 miles in smoke with a bit of morning fog. The slight rain was falling earlier, but has stopped. Winds calm.

Iniakuk Fire Update: Unceasing SE winds with little or no rain for days has caused one of the closest fires on the east ridge to come alive. The Incident Commander boated down at 9:30p last night to let us know this was not good news and they would be back in the morning. We need a long, hard rain.
