406 AM AKDT Sun May 12 2024
.DISCUSSION...A weak low and front will dissipate along the north
Gulf coast and Prince William Sound areas this morning while a
series of upper level disturbances transit Southcentral. This will
lead to continued mostly cloudy skies and some showers, especially

will develop this afternoon/evening. For Monday and Tuesday,
expect a warming and drying trend with increasing amounts of
sunshine and fewer showers each day.
