.DISCUSSION...
A FRONT ALONG THE NE ALCAN BORDER WILL DROP SOUTH TOWARDS THE AK
RANGE TODAY. LOOK FOR THE FEATURE TO SUPPORT NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED WET T-STORMS OVER THE COPPER RIVER BASIN TODAY. THE
FRONT AND ASSOCIATED UPPER-LVL SUPPORT WILL WEAKEN AND MOVE THROUGH
BY EARLY THURSDAY...BUT THE WEAKENING UPPER-RIDGE OVER THE REMAINDER
OF THE SOUTHCENTRAL REGION WILL GIVE WAY TO INCREASING SHOWERS NEAR
THE MOUNTAINS.
