.DISCUSSION...
A polar low moving through the Bering will spread cooler
temperatures inland of Southwest Alaska through Thursday. A
stalled boundary extending from the Kuskokwim Delta down into
interior Bristol Bay has resulted in scattered showers, especially
over King Salmon. This activity may linger into Wednesday but is
expected to eventually dissipate as a trough carries the front
northward and out of the region by Thursday morning. Southwest
winds behind the departing from may briefly increase on Thursday.
