.DISCUSSION...

Rain showers will linger from the Susitna Valley down across
the western Kenai Peninsula through this afternoon before
gradually moving out and/or dissipating. The northern Copper
Basin may see a round of showers develop this afternoon and
evening along the foothills of the Wrangells as another
upper wave moves through, but these showers look to move north
towards the Alaska Range. Breezy gap winds will subside this
morning before increasing again later tonight. Relative humidities
will remain above critical thresholds.
