...RECORD HEAT WAVE TO CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND...

NUMEROUS TEMPERATURE RECORDS WILL BE SHATTERED THROUGHOUT
SOUTHEAST ALASKA INTO THE WEEKEND.  HIGHS WILL GENERALLY BE IN
THE 80S AND LOWER 90S.  SEVERAL ALL-TIME RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES
ARE FORECAST TO BE TIED OR BROKEN THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.  HISTORIC
RECORDS IN JEOPARDY INCLUDE...90 DEGREES IN JUNEAU...89 IN SITKA
...88 IN GUSTAVUS...92 IN KLAWOCK AND 93 IN ANNETTE. 

AN ABNORMALLY STRONG HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF
ALASKA IS CREATING A PERSISTENT OFFSHORE NORTHERLY FLOW.  THIS
PATTERN IS SPREADING HOT DRY AIR DOWN FROM THE INTERIOR AND
RESULTING IN THE RECORD HEAT WAVE THROUGHOUT THE PANHANDLE. 

PLEASE BE SURE TO WEAR A HAT AND SUNBLOCK TO PREVENT SUNBURN...
ESPECIALLY IF YOU WILL BE OUT ON THE WATER.  DRINK PLENTY OF
FLUIDS TO AVOID DEHYDRATION.  PLEASE ALSO BE CAREFUL NOT TO LEAVE
PETS OR SMALL CHILDREN UNATTENDED INSIDE CLOSED VEHICLES.
