.DISCUSSION...
A large low pressure system continues to impact Bristol Bay as it
slowly moves eastward. Widespread wetting precipitation will
continue in the region through Friday. A ridge moves in on
Saturday, drying out the region and decreasing min RH levels to
50 to 60% for inland areas and 70 to 80% along the coast. Max
temperatures will hover in the upper 30s and low 40s for the
period. Breezy southeasterly winds become southwesterly and light
on Saturday as the low dissipates and remain so for the forecast
period.
