Good morning! It's another wonderful spring morning here in North Pole! Temperatures are in the upper 30's and the NWS promises that highs will be in the 60's today. While skies are cloudy, there is no mention of rain.
Rain is something we literally pray for here in Alaska. Many may not know this, but the Interior of Alaska has a desert climate. It is EXTREMELY dry. Because of the lack of rain last summer, wild fires were a massive problem. Most of June and July, we were battling heavy amounts of smoke. Many days, the smoke was so dense you could not see across the street. This limited outdoor activities and caused many people with respiratory diseases to become very ill.
Rain would be very welcomed this year. The NWS does mention a chance of rain over the weekend. I hope they are correct in their forecast. It would be nice to have rain every few days to keep the threat of fires out of our forecast!
Current conditions at 7:00 a.m.:

BP: 29.38 and steady
Sunrise: 5:32 a.m.
Sunset: 10:08 p.m.
