.DISCUSSION...
Any lingering scattered showers early this morning will taper off
by mid to late morning as cloud cover also diminishes. A ridge of
high pressure moving over the region today will yield clearing
skies and drier conditions Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday
morning. Winds will also remain generally light, becoming more
westerly through late evening before becoming light and variable
again overnight.
Light and variable winds will become more northeasterly Wednesday
morning as cloud cover again increases in advance of a frontal
system moving from Kodiak Island north to the Kenai Peninsula. A
period of light rain is possible by around noon Wednesday as
precipitation lifts north ahead of the front. Any rainfall,
however, is expected to be very light, likely o the order of a
period of sprinkles yielding only a trace of accumulation.
Light northeasterly winds Wednesday morning may shift and become
southeasterly by mid to late afternoon as the front lifts north
of Anchorage. There is still some uncertainty as to the magnitude
of the winds, with stronger winds and gusts likely farther west of
the forecast location.
