.DISCUSSION...
A return to southerly flow up the Cook inlet today with result
in slightly cooler temperatures and increasing low-level moisture
allowing for a increase in relative humidity values over the
Kenai, Anchorage/Eagle River Bowl, and the Mat-Su Valley. The Copper
River Basin will also see a slight increase in relative humidity
as high pressure begins to shift to the east. Isolated to scattered
wet thunderstorms are again possible today and each day through
midweek...forming along the foothills of the Wrangells and Talkeetna
Mountains. The Chugach and Kenai Mountains may also see a few storms
today with lesser chances Tues and Wed. Flow remains weak with high
pressure over much of the area, therefore storm movement will be slow.
