.DISCUSSION...
Precipitation over the next few days will primarily be focused in
the Copper River Basin as waves propagate into the area from the
east. Today (Sunday), precipitation will be more showery in the
coverage after light rainfall in the early morning hours. There`s
an off chance of a lightning strike or two, but overall
probability remains low. A more potent wave arrives on Monday
which will likely bring a wetting rain to much of the Copper
River Basin and adjacent mountains. This may also be the case
Tuesday, but the signal is a bit weaker.
Farther west, across the Mat-Su Valley south through Anchorage and
the Kenai Peninsula, mostly rain-free conditions are anticipated.
However, instability driven or enhanced showers are likely, but
quite isolated in nature. There`s also an off chance at a
thunderstorm today or tomorrow in the late afternoon / evening
hours.
Humidity will be lowest today across the Copper River and Susitna
Valleys, where values may drop into the 35-45 percent range in
the typically warmer locations. RH will be higher on Monday,
particularly across the Copper River Basin where rain is expected.
