Iniakuk Lake Weather, Brooks Range, Alaska

Barometer 30.0, temperature 52 degrees. Ceiling and visibility zero due to dense morning fog and light smoke. Winds calm.

Iniakuk Fire Update: Eighteen smokejumpers are at Iniakuk Lake monitoring the slowly encroaching fire. A brief rain, cooler temperatures and higher humidity buys us time until a soaking rain puts the fire out. A partial crew climbed the ridge to put out spot fires but found there was too much heat. So we wait for rain.
