.DISCUSSION...

The system that brought rain to the region yesterday is departing
to the south with high pressure building in over the weekend.
With ample moisture from rain, there is low stratus and fog
throughout eastern Turnagain Arm this morning. This will likely
burn off at the surface through the day, but stratus and fog will
move up the valley walls throughout the morning and possibly into
the later afternoon as the mountain-valley circulation develops.
By this afternoon ceilings and visibility should be unrestricted.
For Sunday, expect light winds and clear skies.
