...MORE RECORD WARM TEMPERATURES ARE PROBABLE TUESDAY AND

AS A RIDGE CONTINUES TO BUILD OVER SOUTHEAST ALASKA AND SUNNY
WEATHER EXPANDS IN COVERAGE TUESDAY, WE ARE EXPECTING MORE
TEMPERATURES AROUND OR ABOVE 60 DEGREES. SOME TEMPERATURES COULD
APPROACH 70 DEGREES. BUT THE WARMING COULD BE LOCALIZED AS ANY
CHANNEL BREEZES DEVELOPING COULD LOWER HIGH TEMPERATURES FROM
EXPECTATIONS, GIVEN CHILLY SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. EVEN AS
CLOUDS MOVE IN WEDNESDAY, IT COULD BE NEARLY AS WARM AS TUESDAY.

TO END SOON AS IT PUSHES TO THE WEST OF THE AREA. THIS WILL ALLOW
RIVERS AND STREAMS TO CREST AND BEGIN TO FALL. AT THIS TIME, OTHER
