NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
402 AM AKDT Thu Jul 17 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Generally cloudy to mostly cloudy skies are forecast on Thursday,
though morning satellite does show breaks in cloud cover, a
lingering effect from the continued presence of dry air aloft.
Relatively cool conditions are forecast today and tomorrow.
Current southerly winds will become increasingly easterly tonight
as the next front pushes up the AKPEN and into Southwest this
afternoon. Expect showers to spread northward through the
overnight hours. Widespread rain Friday morning will eventually
clear during the second half of the day.
