Through Wednesday, June 8th, only 0.08 inches of rain at fallen at Fairbanks Airport since May 1st. This is the lowest total during that time since 1915. Rain has increased across the area Thursday morning, with some places, though not in town, picking up a tenth of an inch or more of rain. A few areas on the east side of Fairbanks are pushing a quarter inch. Not much, but we'll take all we can can, with the Hastings fire now up over 24000 acres.
