.DISCUSSION...
LOW PRESSURE ALOFT ANCHORED ALONG THE BERING SEA COAST WILL PERSIST FOR AT
LEAST THE SEVEN DAYS. A WEAKENING WEATHER FRONT WILL APPROACH THE FIRE AREA
FROM THE WEST LATE SATURDAY NIGHT BUT WILL STALL WEST OF THE FIRE. THERE COULD
BE A FEW BRIEF SHOWERS OF SPRINKLES. THERE IS A SOMEWHAT BETTER CHANCE OF
SEVERAL HOURS OF RAIN MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AS A MORE VIGOROUS FRONT MOVES
ACROSS THE AREA...WHICH WILL BRING COOLER AIR OVER THE FIRE. HOWEVER..HIGH
PRESSURE ALOFT WILL REBUILT BY LATE IN THE WEEK WITH UNSEASONABLY WARM
TEMPERATURES AND VERY LITTLE CHANCE OF RAIN.
