.DISCUSSION...Southerly flow aloft will bring warmer conditions to the area over the weekend. A
vertically stacked low pressure system moving into the Gulf of Alaska will bring a slight chance of
rain showers to the area by Sunday, however a significant amount of uncertainty remains on the placement
of those rain showers. Humidity may drop as low as 25 percent on Saturday under the Chinook conditions,
but will rebound early next week as moisture from the Gulf of Alaska moves into the area.
