.DISCUSSION...
Showery conditions look to prevail through Monday. The majority
of precipitation should remain rain and snow showers, especially
for the coast. However, there may be enough instability in the
interior to help produce a few lightning strikes out of showers
that form in eastern portions of the Middle Kuskokwim Valley and
Western Alaska Range late this afternoon into the evening hours
before colder air works in there.
