235 PM AKDT Thu May 2 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Isolated showers this afternoon and evening, with RH dropping into
the 40s for parts of Kuskokwim Delta and Western Alaska Range due
to southeasterly downsloping winds. Gusty winds and more
significant chances of wetting rain for much of Friday as a front
moves in off the Bering Sea. By Saturday, a transition from steady
rain to rain showers, with a chance of overnight snow showers
along the coast as temperatures cool towards or below freezing.
