Resources have been maintaining containment, mopping-up, and backhauling equipment in all divisions. Crews will complete suppression repair in all areas of suppression efforts.

12 Hours: Fire Activity and spread will be further diminished across the fire area due to cooler temperatures and significant precipitation. As moisture levels increase, fire activity and spread will decrease. Areas of little to no precipitation will continue to have potential for fire spread and growth as in the case of the area between Washington Creek and Tatalina River.

24 Hours: Fire Activity and spread will be further diminished across the fire area due to cooler temperatures and significant precipitation. As moisture levels increase, fire activity and spread will decrease. Areas of little to no precipitation will continue to have potential for fire spread and growth as in the case of the area between Washington Creek and Tatalina River.

48 Hours: Weather patterns will continue to cover the fire area with chances of significant precipitation. The patterns will further raise fuel moistures and further decrease fire Activity and the potential for spread significantly. The fire area will continue to experience cooler temperatures and periodic precipitation. As moisture levels increase, fire activity and spread will decrease further. Areas of little to no precipitation will continue to have potential for fire spread and growth as in the case of the area between Washington Creek and Tatalina River.

72 Hours: Fire Activity and spread will diminish further across the fire area due to cooler temperatures and extended periods of measurable precipitation. As moisture levels increase, fire activity and spread will decrease. Areas of little to no precipitation will continue to have potential for fire spread and growth as in the case of the area between Washington Creek and Tatalina River.

Crew and civilian safety have been a high priority for command staff. Crews have worked to protect critical infrastructure, cultural sites, and private assets while managing the fire in an environmentally and fiscally responsible approach. Once resources were available, they were transitioned from suppression to repair. Excess equipment was reassigned or released.

Southwest flow aloft continued Tuesday, bringing abundant moisture into Interior Alaska. Tuesday morning started off wet with 0.2-0.3 inches of rain falling over the fire area. Rain tapered off to showers by 9:30am though. Temperatures only climbed into the low to mid 50s, and remained in the upper 40s over ridgetops. A few showers lasted through the afternoon. Relative humidities did not drop below 60%, and winds were from the southwest at 5-10 mph, with some gusts to 15-20 mph over ridgetops. Wednesday is expected to be a much drier day as low pressure to the northwest of the fire area moves north and weakens. Flow aloft also turns southerly, with the Alaska Range shadowing the fire area out of most precipitation in the area. Just a few isolated showers are expected. High temperatures will be in the upper 50s to mid 60s with relative humidities dropping to around 50% under partly cloudy skies in the afternoon. Winds will be from the southeast at 3-7 mph in valleys and along slopes and 5-10 mph over ridgetops.
