.DISCUSSION...
Diurnally driven isolated to scattered showers possible this
afternoon and evening, especially near higher elevations.
Increasing chances for precipitation return on Wednesday, but
greater amounts will be along the Gulf coast and coastal mountains
with lesser chances for inland Southcentral. Winds still look to
become gusty through south to southeasterly gaps, such as the Copper
River Valley and the Knik River Valley. Winds would begin ramping
up Wednesday night with gusts up to 20 to 30 mph. The Glennallen/Gulkana
area is expected to be downsloped with the southerly flow and humidity
could dip into the low 30s to low 40s during the afternoon hours
on Wednesday and again Thursday.
