.DISCUSSION...

WEAK ONSHORE FLOW WILL GRADUALLY PENETRATE DEEP INTO SOUTHWEST ALASKA
THROUGH FRIDAY. THIS WILL CAUSE THE THERMAL TROUGH TO MOVE NORTHEAST
COMPARED TO YESTERDAY...WITH LOWER MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES AND HIGHER
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES ACROSS THE AREA. A FAST MOVING DISTURBANCE
WILL SUPPORT SCATTERED SHOWER DEVELOPMENT FRIDAY NEAR THE FIRE.

A MAJOR PATTERN CHANGE IS UPCOMING EARLY THIS WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK
AS A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO TRACK THROUGH THE
BERING. THIS WILL INTRODUCE A MUCH COOLER AND WETTER PACIFIC AIRMASS
INTO ALL OF SOUTHWEST ALASKA...WITH WIDESPREAD WETTING RAINFALL
BECOMING MORE LIKELY. THE COOLER AND WETTER PATTERN LOOKS TO LAST
THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.
