.DISCUSSION...
A broad, weakening trough is situated just offshore of the
Kuskokwim coastline, which is allowing for low clouds and
scattered rain showers to continue for Kipnuk, Toksook Bay, and
Bethel. The trough dissipates and rain showers come to an end by
this afternoon and evening. By late Sunday, another trough makes
its way southward to the Kuskokwim Delta and Bristol Bay, which
likely will increase clouds, showers, and enhance winds for these
areas.
