DISCUSSION
MOSTLY CLEAR, DRY, AND WARM CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. A SLIGHT WARMING TREND IS EXPECTED, WITH THE LOW MOVING
OFF TO THE NW, WITH VALUES REACHING THE MID 70S BY SATURDAY. THIS
WILL ALSO RESULT IN SLIGHTLY DRIER MINIMUM RHS IN THE MID 30S.
WARMER TEMPERATURES MAY ALLOW FOR BETTER MIXING TO THE SURFACE,
ALLOWING FOR OCCASIONAL WIND GUSTS AROUND 10 TO 15 MPH.
WEST WINDS ARE LOOKING TO INCREASE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
PERSIST THROUGH SATURDAY. THIS MAY KEEP TEMPERATURES FROM FALLING
AS MUCH AS THE PREVIOUS NIGHT. THESE STRONGER WINDS MAY ALSO
PREVENT A STRONGER INVERSION TO FORM OVERNIGHT. RELATIVELY GOOD
OVERNIGHT RH RECOVERY IS EXPECTED.
MONDAY/TUESDAY IS LOOKING TO BRING A PATTERN CHANGE FOR WESTERN
ALASKA, BRINGING INCREASED CHANCES FOR WETTING RAIN.
