DISCUSSION
THE LIGHT TO MODERATE SHOWERS OBSERVED OVER THE COOK INLET AREAS
AND MAT-SU VALLEYS ARE WINDING DOWN AS THE REGION LOSES THE
STRONGER UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT OF YESTERDAYS TROUGH. HOWEVER, THE
MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CURRENTLY OVER THE WESTERN/CENTRAL
PORTIONS OF THE STATE WILL SLOWLY DROP SOUTH INTO SOUTHWEST
ALASKA. THIS WILL KEEP A BROAD AREA OF WEAK LIFT OVER SOUTHCENTRAL
AND COMBINE WITH INSTABILITY TO GENERATE VERY LIGHT RAIN AT TIMES
OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. GAP WINDS WILL ONCE AGAIN MOVE THROUGH
TURNAGAIN ARM AND MAY MOVE OVER THE BURN AREA AT TIMES THIS
AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL DIMINISH AND BECOME NORTHERLY OVER THE
WEEKEND AS A STORM MOVES INTO THE SOUTHERN GULF WITH ADDITIONAL
PERIODS OF LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED.
