.DISCUSSION...
Wetting rains and gusty northeasterly winds will continue across
Kodiak Island and the immediate southern and eastern coasts of the
Kenai Peninsula through Saturday as a frontal system moves into
the northern and western Gulf. For Cook Inlet and interior
Southcentral, conditions will remain generally clear and dry
through Saturday morning with high pressure building over these
regions. Daytime high temperatures today will push into the mid
to upper 60s for much of the Mat-Su Valleys and Copper River
Basin. An increase in southeasterly gap winds for these same
locations again this afternoon and evening will likely push min RH
values down to between 25 and 35%. Clouds will be on the increase
Saturday as an upper-level wave lifts north across the area.
Scattered shower are also possible for the Copper River Basin and
the Mat-Su Valleys Saturday afternoon along with slightly cooler
temperatures.
