Discussion... 




Models in good agreement with a 549 dm upper level high anchored 
over western Alaska is keeping much of the state cloud free through 
this evening. A surface 1040 mb high will persist over the Canadian 
Yukon and slowly weaken on Thursday. 


West Coast...clouds will be on the increase for parts of the West 
Coast on Thursday as a 959 mb low and its associated front move into 
the western Bering this evening. The upper level high will block 
this system and the only chance for precipitation will be from Saint Lawrence 
Island west Thursday night into Friday morning. The front will elongate and 
dissipate on Friday as high pressure builds back in over the area. 


North Slope...850 mb temperatures will moderate on Thursday and high pressure over 
the Arctic will keep things quiet for the North Slope through Sat. 
A thermal gradient exists near Cape Lisburne with local south winds 
to 40 miles per hour through tomorrow. 


Interior...high pressure will keep the interior clear with above 
average temperatures with little/no precipitation for much of the 
the forecast area.
