.DISCUSSION...
Isolated to scattered storms again possible this afternoon
for portions of the Wrangells, Talkeetna Mountains, and the
Alaska Range. The Copper River Basin may also see thunderstorms
this afternoon, though the bulk of any convection is expected
to be over the northern half of the Basin with greatest chances
shifting slightly northeast towards Mentasta Lake and the northern
Wrangells. Activity will again shift north and east Saturday,
focusing on the eastern Alaska Range and northern Wrangells.
Gusty winds of 15 to 20 mph look to develop through the southern
half of the Copper Basin today and again Saturday.Minimum
relative humidity values for lower elevations of the Basin
will fall into the 25 to 35 percent range late this afternoon.
