SOUTHWEST MAINLAND...EASTERLY FLOW ACROSS MAINLAND ALASKA WILL
CONTINUE TO FEED COLD DRY AIR INTO SOUTHWEST INTERIOR AND KEEP THE
SKIES MOSTLY CLEAR. SOME CLOUDS AND ISOLATED SHOWERS OVER THE
SOUTH-CENTRAL COAST WILL ALSO BE CAUGHT UP IN THE EASTERLY FLOW AND
MOVE INTO BRISTOL BAY TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT.
