.DISCUSSION...
Widely scattered showers and a chance for wetting rains continue
through this afternoon from Prince William Sound north and west
across the Kenai Peninsula and Mat-Su Valleys as an upper-level
trough moves across the region. Showers diminish for all but the
coast and higher elevations this evening; however, gap winds will
increase again later this afternoon and continue through the
evening for Turnagain Arm and the Knik and Copper River Valleys.
There is a slight chance for an isolated wet thunderstorm around
the foothills of the Talkeetnas for Thursday afternoon/evening.
Min RH values will fall to between 30 and 40% for interior valley
locations Thursday evening, especially for locations experiencing
gusty gap winds.
