.DISCUSSION...
Hot, dry, and occasionally breezy conditions persist through mid-
week, though conditions will generally be slightly cooler and
moister in the coming days compared to today. Otherwise, the main
focus will be on convection. Most forecast zones will have a
chance of seeing isolated to scattered wet thunderstorms today,
with thunderstorms expected to move generally westward off area
mountains except in the Copper River Basin, where storm motion
will be more southward. A chance of isolated to scattered
thunderstorms continues through mid-week, though coverage may be
more limited to the Mat-Su and Copper River Valleys for Tuesday
and Wednesday as high pressure builds in from the Gulf.
