This guy might need to rethink his boating skills.

And while this is the first ever NOAA heat advisory, on 4th of July weekend in 1982, it reached 100°F when we were out on the range shooting a high power silhouette match in Fairbanks.

Sunday June 15, 2025, 8:00 AM
VALID TIME: Sunday June 15, 2025, 8:00 AM to Tuesday June 17, 2025, 2:00 PM, advisory
will be issued until end of the event.
TIME/DATE OF THE NEXT REPORT: Tuesday June 17, 2025, 2:00 PM, if needed.
ADVISORY: Smoke from the Canadian fires continue to migrate into the eastern region of
Alaska via lower and upper-level transport winds. Communities along the eastern Alaskan border
will see the greatest impacts from smoke. Some of the upper-level smoke will gradually settle as
it is transported around the low pressure system to the south of Alaska. Smoke will continue to
move through Alaska until the wind pattern shifts during the middle of the week. There is also a
prescribed fire ignition today in Delta Junction that will add to the surface smoke in the area. That
smoke should be lifted during the day and mix in with upper level transport winds. Smoke
produced at night from smoldering will be trapped briefly under the early morning inversion.
Communities in the shaded areas below will see smoke impacts. Air Quality will vary
between GOOD and Unhealthy in the region, areas downstream of the fire will be greatly
impacted until the smoke lifts into transport winds aloft.
