Super boring weather until about Wednesday, when rain is anticipated. Mostly cloudy, kinda cloudy, perhaps "sprinkles" tomorrow (that word never fails to tickle me in a forecast.)

Really, put the above phrases in any order you like and you'll be correct regarding our weather through the weekend, into early next week.
Our high will probably reach 50F at some point in the next few days.
One of those "partly sunny" days lands on our first cruise day, Sunday. Lucky tourists!

We're heading into a prolonged period of mostly sunny skies.
It's been suitably dank & dreary for a while, so I'll allow it.
Plus John needs good weather to get his boat tuned up at the haul-out, so yay sun!

Perfect for John to haul out the SeaBear and get to scrubbing. I might even have a pic or two.

The NWS has taken to doing a split, North/South thing for the panhandle. North (Yakutat, Haines, Juneau) and South (POW Island, Ketchikan, Wrangell) - each get their own forecast in the SEAK weather banner. Besides reminding me of that miniseries in the 80's, (Patrick Swayze!!) it's a tossup whether Sitka will go with the North or the South.
Much like Kansas before the Civil War.
