.DISCUSSION...
Light rain along the northern Bristol Bay coast will diminish
today as a front weakens over Southwest Alaska. Isolated showers
may develop across portions of Southwest Alaska this afternoon,
producing trace amounts of precipitation. Southeasterly
downsloping winds will also allow for RHs to drop into the 40s for
parts of the Kuskokwim Delta and Western Alaska Range today. More
significant chances for wetting rain arrive with a second front
moving in off the Bering Sea on Friday and temperatures trend
cooler. By Friday night, rain transitions to snow for parts of
Bristol Bay.
