REBUILDS ON FRIDAY. WARM AND DRY FOR INLAND AREAS OF SOUTHCENTRAL
ALASKA THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK WITH MAXTS IN THE 60S AND
70S MOST INLAND AREAS. NEVERTHELESS FIRE WEATHER SHOULD NOT BE A
CONCERN DUE TO MINIMAL WINDS OUTSIDE COASTAL AREAS.  AFTERNOON AND
EVENING CONVECTIVE SHOWERS POSSIBLE OVER THE ALASKA RANGE ON THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY.

A LARGE 985 MB LOW CENTERED OVER THE WESTERN ALASKA PENINSULA IS
PRESENTLY SPREADING RAIN AND RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS KODIAK

ALEUTIAN CHAIN. THE ASSOCIATED OCCLUDED FRONT EXTENDS IN AN ARC FROM
THE LOW CENTER TO THE PRIBILOFS AND THEN ALONG THE BRISTOL BAY COAST
AND ACROSS KODIAK ISLAND. THE LOW CENTER WILL MOVE TO JUST WEST OF
